The survey was administered via the Internet to monitors registered with the Internet research company, focusing the regional gap for medical care and financial demand.One of the studies focused on child caring and conjoint analysis was used to quantitatively measure the balance between child allowance and its burden by presenting several levels of child allowance in combination with different consumption tax levels.
