Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, many entities such as nonprofit organizations have been engaged in support activities for child disaster victims. In this paper, the targets of the analysis will primarily be financial support in the form of cash payments to reduce the financial burden of children’s education, such as cash grants in the form of scholarships; payments to individual disaster victims; and loans.
In order to swiftly and fairly take immediate action during times of disaster, when the number of children in need of financial support due to a disaster affecting their guardians increases, I believe that it is important to create national minimums for measures against child poverty and financial support for children’s education even in normal times. I also believe it is important to build a system with as little disparity as possible between both the municipalities in which children live and the methods of support.
