The income of the household decreases by becoming a one parent by a divorce.
In the case of a family of mother and child in particular, the regular
employment (regular staff) of the woman is difficult and, comes to often
work for low wage because it is limited again in the working hours.

Of course all mother and child households are not in poverty state. It
varies by each family.
However, it is the situation of present Japan that the poverty ratio of
the mother and child household is higher than 50%, and feel that more than

| --hard to show the poverty of the child- |
|
 |
| ● We do not know from appearance |
|
| Clothes and wearing, it is difficult to know whether the child is from
a conversation between friends are faced with poverty. |
| ●Awareness that "it poverty to be hide." |
|
| Many children will not say to others that your own home is that it is poor. |
| ● It is difficult to gather information |
|
| From the point of view of personal information protection, it is difficult
to obtain a home information of children at school. |
| ● Advance in some areas "divided" |
|
In some areas, only poor households and rich households gathered in the
same school district, the layer is "divided" in income, missing
the opportunity to meet the people of the other layers.
