Why Japan's in Trouble with Female Hikikomori

A recent government survey has revealed that women make up almost half of the estimated 1.46 million people aged 15 to 64 who have withdrawn from Japanese society. This issue has just started to come to the surface, and probably it'll take Japan a lot of time to catch up.

For those who don't know, 'Hikikomori' (引きこもり) is defined by the Health, Labor and Welfare Ministry as someone who has remained isolated at home for at least six consecutive months without going to school or work, and rarely interacts with people from outside their own immediate family.

If you or someone you know is in crisis and needs help, resources are available. In case of an emergency in Japan, please call 119 for immediate assistance. The TELL Lifeline is available for those who need free and anonymous counseling at 03-5774-0992. For those in other countries, visit the hotlines for a detailed list of resources and assistance.
