As the effects of the new coronavirus continue for a long time, telephone consultations are being conducted all over the country to respond to consultations from people who have difficulty living due to unemployment or a decrease in income.
This telephone consultation is provided by support groups made up of lawyers and NPOs at about 40 locations nationwide, and consultations are also being made one after another at the labor union offices in Bunkyo Ward, Tokyo.
Among them, a man in his thirties said, "I was working as a full-time employee, but I was dismissed last year due to the spread of the infection, and it has been difficult to get a new job for about a year. We have been cornered. "
In response, the person in charge introduced NPOs that support the reconstruction of life.
According to the support group, while the effects of the new coronavirus continue, it is difficult to get a new job, so unemployment is becoming more serious, and more and more people are being cornered, such as running out of savings.
Zenroren's standing secretary, Satoshi Nakano, who is in charge of telephone consultation, said, "The future is uncertain due to concerns about the spread of the infection again, and there is a risk that more people will be in need of life. I was talking.
Telephone consultation is available until 10 pm on the 18th, and the number is 0120--157-930, a toll-free number common throughout Japan.
