Hikikomori 1 out of 4 people who can rely on their sickness March 27 4:29

A survey conducted by a support organization found that about one in four people withdrawn had no one to rely on in the event of a sudden illness and were in an isolated situation.

This survey was conducted by the HIKIKOMORI UX Conference, which was made by experienced hikikomori people, via the Internet and other facilities last fall. There was an answer.


According to that, the age at which withdrawal started was an average of 22.6 years, and when looking at the period of withdrawal by age, it was 2.5 years in teens, 6.5 years in 20s, 10.6 in 30s, and 10.6 in over 40s Over 14 years, the longer the age, the longer the trend.

In addition, more than 28%, one in four, said that there was no one to rely on in the event of a sudden illness.

It became clear that even those who lived with their families were in a psychologically isolated situation.

In addition, of those who have used administrative services such as consultation and employment support, about 90% answered that they felt they had issues.

To be specific, there were voices saying, "I was hurt by preaching from my work at Hello Work, and I was hurt because I went to consult and was unable to receive support."

According to Kyoko Hayashi, CEO of the Hikikomori UX Conference, which surveyed the situation, "It has become clear that while the withdrawal is prolonged and many people are becoming more isolated, the supporters have not been able to catch the suffering of those people. I would like to share the results of this survey with supporters and lead to improvements. "
