Japanese problem 8050 (5 photos)

The technologically advanced and developed Land of the Rising Sun has a number of big problems. For example, issue 8050.





This is a situation in which 80-year-old parents support their 50 year old children. The figure is conditional, it can be both 70/40 and 90/60. That there is a huge layer of people who are completely unadapted to life. And it's not just low salaries or difficulties with building a personal life - these are literally everyday disabled people.

They are not able to cook even a banal scrambled eggs, cannot use the washing machine. Not even from home come out. They are called hikki (hikikomori - being in solitude) - people voluntarily isolated from society. Someone is lazy, and parents they are indulged, and someone because of mental problems becomes the recluse of his room.



After the coronavirus pandemic, the number of hickeys is serious increased. The Japanese diligently come up with excuses of various kinds: lack of education, fictional diseases, fear of society. And the elderly parents, for whom, as for all Japanese, the family is sacred, drag as many of their offspring as they can. Of course, none of them makes, but the difficulty is that dad and mom are dying. And their children remain alone with washing machines, vacuum cleaners and stoves. One on one with public transport, which they do not know how use, and bills they can't pay.



Too many parents hide their children from the world, and many of them have mental problems that needed to be correct at an early age. But the Japanese don't like to show your life and to admit that your child is not like everyone else, you need to go to the doctor so that everyone can see this ... It's a shame. No. Let sits at home, does not work and hangs with chains around his parent's neck.



And the first time is good. But over the years, the strength is not enough, and in house is already an adult with mental problems, which with age only get worse. There were cases when such "children" could spend whole days sit next to parents who "fell asleep" and they did not even understand that happened. Some of them died next, literally from exhaustion.



There are hikikomori rehabilitation centers in Japan. Their they teach you how to clean, pay bills, cook, communicate with living people. By data from 2020, in Japan there are more than a million of these oversized children.
