Abstract

The changes in the Japanese population with an increasing number of elderly and the decline in the number of children caused a problem in society. Currently many Japanese elderlies live in poverty. These elderly are known as karyuu roujin. The term karyuu roujin was introduced by Takanori Fujita, a social worker in 2015. This term became the starting point for the depiction of poverty from the actual situation of the elderly in Japan. The term karyuu roujin is defined as old people who live with basic welfare standards and worried about their living conditions. Now, Japan's first baby boomer generation getting old and poverty have become commonly seen among these elderly people. It is estimated that there are around 6-7 million karyuu roujin. The purpose of this paper is to describe karyuu roujin as a class of poor elderly in japan and the problems faced in old age. The method used is qualitative with descriptive analysis. The results indicate that with longer life spans, the elderly are becoming an increasingly large class of the poor in the Japanese population. The problems faced by these poor elderly people include a small pension, high medical costs, no children or family to ask for help. The impact of this poverty is that many elderly people commit criminal acts and suicide.

Abstract

This study aims to examine the increasing trend of suicide among Japanese teenagers since the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the mental health of people around the world, including Japan. According to data from the National Police Agency of Japan, the number of youth suicides (aged 15-19) in Japan remains at a record high and is showing an alarming trend. Contributing factors include school problems, health problems, and family problems. To analyse this phenomenon, this study uses Emile Durkheim's suicide theory approach, which classifies suicide into four types, namely egoistic, altruistic, fatalistic, and anomic. This research uses a qualitative research method through a literature study approach. The results showed that the pandemic had exacerbated suicide factors, especially the anomic and fatalistic types of Durkheim's suicide theory. Academic pressure, family expectations, and Japanese cultural norms amid social isolation interact to create conditions for adolescents who are vulnerable to the pressures of these two types of suicide. The increase in suicide rates among Japanese adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic reflects the complexity of the social and psychological crisis facing the younger generation.
