We think about what the issue of poverty of the child whom modern Japan has is here.



 According to the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare announced in July 2014, "National Livelihood Survey", a child poverty rate of less than 18 years has been updated in the past the worst of the numbers will be about 16%. In other words this is one in six, it about 3.26 million people is in the poverty state.

According to the OECD (the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development), this price is high to the tenth among OECD member nation 34 countries and it exceed OECD average.In addition, the relative poverty ratio of the household where an adult is alone among the active play households where a child is becomes highest among OECD member nations when we look altogether.

There is not food, and living environment is inferior, and this is used in comparison with "the abject poverty" with the crisis of the life.The ratio of person getting only the income less than the constant ratio of the income median (general 50%. So-called "poverty line").In other words the ratio among the total population of the relative needy who is poorer than a certain country and local majority.【life of the people basics investigation (poverty ratio) Than common question - Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare p.3[ reference materials] 】

In the National Livelihood Survey, about 1.22 million yen is take-home income in one-person households per year, about 1.73 million yen in two-person households, less than about 2.11 million yen in three households fall into relative poverty.
Households below its forehead, it in households with children was about 16 percent.

Cause of the suicide Economic poverty>Bullying
As a result of having investigated national private where Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology committed suicide after 2011, child 500 of the special support school, we knew that there was more suicide that was pessimistic about the future with economical poverty about a cause of the suicide of the child than 5% and bullying (2%).According to the analysis of the expert, in the background of the school, "the issue of such as the examination failure course" continued with 12%, school refusal 10%, friend relations 8%, studies dullness 7% in the most, and, as for "the instruction of the staff of a school including the physical punishment ," were 3%, "the bullying" were 2%.

An image called the suicide = bullying of the child in particular may be deep-rooted among modern adults….With the poverty of the child, children committing suicide want to make decreasing measures without being seized with a fixed idea.I think that I cannot plot the best if I do not argue with the very child to solve the problem of the child.I want you to take the opinion of the child carefully.

It is thought that it affects it that the income of the child care generation decreased under the protracted deflation economy.

The mother and child households increase, and it is thought that it affects it that a pay level of the work of mother does not readily rise.

   Opinion of HARU
The reason for children of poverty is not spread too much recognition even though it has already been serious so far, than is that parents and children has become a society that hardly ask for help? Do not think without Kakaekoma in every home, and should create a system that also local communities and society as a whole not only country able to support together.

There is a person feeling, "I am hard" nearly 60%.
Furthermore, it is the present conditions of present Japan that feel when 66% of "households where the child is", 85% of "mother and child households" "are painful" in life….
