Hikikomori to strengthen the support system, such as unifying consultation offices of local governments, December 11, 17:58
As more and more families have come to have multiple problems, such as the difficulties of living due to prolonged children's withdrawal, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare is striving to strengthen the support system by encouraging local governments to provide a single point of contact. I decided to go.
In the national survey, the number of middle-aged and elderly people from 40 to 64 years old has reached an estimated 610,000 people nationwide, and the `` 8050 problem '' that parents in their 50s must support children in their 50s It is getting serious.
There are many cases where there are multiple problems such as poor life and nursing care in these families, but the consultation desks of the local governments are different, and the consultant is in a roundabout way, and information is not shared between departments in charge The problem was pointed out.
For this reason, the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare has decided to provide financial support to local governments that have prepared a system for comprehensively dealing with multiple issues, such as a single window.
On top of that, we will establish a system that will not refuse consultation in any family, and we will ask those who continue to be involved to provide support until they are connected to work and social participation.
