HI GUYS , welcome back to my channel,
Todays topic :
Yes, There Are Homeless People In Japan
Despite rumors and tourist tales suggesting the exact opposite, Japan does indeed have a community of homeless people, particularly in the major cities. It’s small, but it’s there. In 2018, it was reported that Japan had 4977 homeless people, a mere 0.004% of the population.
Currently, Japan has the lowest number of homeless people per 100’000 than any other country barring Jordan and Liechtenstein, who both have zero homeless people (although different countries use different definitions of homelessness, so it’s difficult to compare figures of different countries.
Is There Government Assistance?
The short answer is yes, the Japanese government does have systems in place to help homeless people. Those systems have been effective in reducing the homeless population by more than have in the past decade, which is more than can be said for many other governmental programs. But, there’s a stipulation within these Japanese social programs that deters many from applying.
To apply for welfare and be successful in Japan, the government first checks to see if you have any other means of support, including family. If you do, they’ll contact your family members to look after you, which will obviously alert them to the fact that you’re homeless. Many Japanese homeless are embarrassed by their living status and do not want their families to find out about it, much less be a burden to them. To save themselves the “shame”, they simply don’t apply.
