Exploring Mirai Income: A New Infrastructure for Child Support

On July 31, 2025, the Planning Office Room 375, led by Masako Fukushima, will host a pivotal symposium titled 'Social Business 3.0: The Challenge of Mirai Income, A New Infrastructure for Child Support'. The event will take place at the prestigious Kitazawa Town Hall Sky Salon in Setagaya, Tokyo, from 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM.

The symposium aims to launch 'Mirai Income' (pending trademark), an innovative child support framework financed through corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives. This initiative targets media professionals and individuals interested in child welfare, education, community collaboration, social startups, and societal reforms. Through this event, we hope to foster understanding and enable the formation of a community that supports our mission.

Background of Mirai Income

At the heart of the symposium will be a deep dive into the concept of Mirai Income—a new assistance model that is distinct from traditional donations or subsidies. The platform will operate on a subscription basis, costing ¥5,000 per month to support a single family.

This initiative addresses the needs of vulnerable segments of society, such as struggling middle-class and single-parent households, delivering support financed by CSR budgets and community commitment. In a time marked by declining birth rates, educational disparities, and economic stagnation, new approaches to nurturing children as the future workforce are desperately needed.

We invite those interested in advancing child support through a systematic approach to join us at the symposium.

Closing Thoughts from Masako Fukushima

Fukushima states, "To bridge the invisible gaps in support frameworks, we must act collectively. My experiences in marketing and housing have illuminated how crucial it is to recognize the struggles of the middle class and single-parent families often overlooked in social discussions. I formed Mirai Income to address these gaps and provide lasting, reliable solutions. By doing so, we can build a society where children's futures aren't determined by their family backgrounds. I warmly invite you all to engage in this crucial conversation and be part of a solution-driven community."

Join us in this groundbreaking initiative to redefine child support infrastructure for a brighter future.
