| Summary |
This survey was conducted with the objective of supplementing the Statistics Bureau, Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications' "Basic Study on Social Life" by helping to understand and analyze the actual status of solitary non-employed persons (SNEPs), a group that is believed to have increased recently. For this survey, we designed our survey form to account very specifically for items not encompassed by the "Basic Study on Social Life." In particular, we have polled on past history such as employment experience and childhood interpersonal relationships, treatment/care status/health status, and other factors likely to influence solitary non-employment. |
