Eighty-four percent of parents who wanted to put their child in a day care facility found the process of finding a spot "tiresome and a burden," according to a recent health ministry survey.

The survey was conducted after an angry blog post by a mother who failed to find a day care spot went viral in February, prompting the government to come up with emergency measures to tackle the issue.

"Even when people eventually find a spot at day care, they find the process tiresome," said a health ministry official. "We will try to ease the burden."
