| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study attempts to clarify the reality of the hikikomori problem/experience in the context of the shrinking corporate welfare and the weakening of the economic foundation of family welfare since the 2000s. Interview research with fathers of hikikomori children revealed that the families are forced to support their hikikomori children because of the lack of a sufficiently functioning public welfare system, which is exacerbating the hikikikomori problem as a family problem.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
2000年代以降、ひきこもり問題が８０５０問題へと深刻化していく背景に、日本の世帯単位の扶助を強調する社会保障制度の課題があることを、調査データに基づいて明らかにした。具体的には、（１）生活保護制度は、世帯単位＆親族扶養優先の原則があるために、家族依存状態の子ども個人の生活を保障するセーフティネットとなり得ていない、（２）子が障害年金を受給している場合でも、受給金額の少なさと訪問サービスの不足のために、家族依存を解消するに至っていない。
