PART C_2

Labor Pains

International Women’s Day exists to celebrate and empower women’s rights. However, even if the US takes the role of a leader in some areas, it is the only industrialized nation to not have a paid family leave. Having no guarantee of paid maternity leave is indeed a huge problem for new mothers.

Lauren Hoffman is one of the many American mothers who took an eight-week maternity leave. She feels compelled to return to work shortly after giving birth. Non-profit magazine In These Times released in their 2015 issue the analyzed data from the Department of Labor that shows that nearly a quarter of new mothers reported back to work two weeks after giving birth due to limited paid leave. According to Hoffman, the Family and Medical Leave Act allows new parents to take up to 12 weeks off, but it does not require one’s employer to pay for that period.

New mothers feel anxiety and guilt leaving their babies to return to work after giving birth. “There will be moments where you might want to cry. Let yourself cry, but know that even though new motherhood is probably the hardest job on the planet, it is absolutely worth it,” Hoffman says.

PART C_2

No Age Barrier

Artificial intelligence and robotics are changing the lifestyle in Japan due to its population’s rapid change. At the University of Tokyo, people can take classes in virtual reality (VR) facilitated by tech-savvy seniors.

Most students in the class are adults and the elderly, ranging from 53 (the youngest) to 90-year-olds (the oldest). They create 360-degree videos to show virtual reality to some elderly patients who cannot travel like they used to. Takeshi Maki, 82, is one of the students who traveled to Hawaii using a 360-degree camera. Kenta Toshima from the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology in the university used VR in his previous job as a therapist to help Japan’s aging population find hope and joy. Kenta said that using the device takes 80 and 90-year-olds to different places “right before their eyes.” They feel excited, and some patients who do not normally stand up start walking.

Toshima teamed up with the University of Tokyo’s assistant professor Hiyama Atsushi, whose research is mainly focused on implementing technology to support Japan’s hyperaged society. “Even if our physical condition gets lower, by use of virtual reality and an internet connection we can travel around in a virtual way and we can still work and contribute to the society,” Hiyama said.
