More than 1.46 million slumbering people in Japan do not work, do not get married, and eat at home

It is shameful to avoid it, but it is effective.

The Japanese "skuju people" believe that they stay at home or in their rooms for a long time, do not go to school or work, and do not see them in society.

They are even more terrible than the "gnawing old people", even if something big happens, they are not willing to step out of their room, even if their parents die, they would rather let the body rot at home than go out to deal with it.

What is the cause of this phenomenon?Is Japan seeing an easing of this phenomenon so far?

"The scuba tribe is more terrible than gnawing at the old people."

For a while, there was a popular term called "gnawing old people" to describe people who knew they could earn a living independently, but chose to rely on their parents' financial resources. Some of them are extravagant and profligate, and some choose to be passive and slack off, in short, the "gnawing old people" are gradually spurned by society.

However, in Japan, there is an even more terrible "gnawing old people", who are called "snarking people". Different from the gnawing old people, they chose to directly cut off contact with society, not only stopped struggling, but also did not even go out of the house, and really lived a life like "waste wood".

On one occasion, a Japanese report mentioned an extreme case of a stumbling group. At the time, the Tokyo police were patrolling when they smelled the stench of corpses, and they knocked on the door to find a 61-year-old man in the same room as his father's body.

In Tokyo, when the police knocked on the door, his father had been dead for 24 days, much to everyone's shock. How could he be so calm with a corpse for almost a month?After all, his father is 91 years old.

However, the reply of the slumber surprised everyone, who thought that if the hospital was notified or his father's funeral was held, he would be the only one left in the house, which would make him very afraid.

He only cares about his own feelings, but chooses not to care about his parents' condition at all, which is a typical "slumber" view.

They only care about their comfort in the house, and they are blind to family ties and social processes.

How did the group of "slumbering people" be formed?

Japanese society suffered an economic crisis in the 80s of the 20th century, an event that not only affected the development process of society as a whole, but also had a profound impact on the psychological state of many Japanese people.

Many college students start out with great ambitions but face unemployment after graduation. Some people with high education can not find high-paying jobs, while those with low education can only drop out of school due to family poverty, making it difficult to continue their studies and eventually enter the bottom of society, forming a vicious circle.

In addition to social factors, family factors are also an important influencing factor. After surveying many of the "slumbering people", it was found that most of these people's parents had made remarkable achievements in society and had outstanding performance in their respective fields.

Another characteristic of these parents is that they are strict with their children, hoping that their children can surpass them to achieve higher achievements, but they lack care for their children.

In such a family environment, it is easy for children to form the habit of "slumbering people", they are afraid of integrating into social activities, worrying about failure in school, and doubting their social value, so they choose to stay closed and have zero communication with the outside world. If this continues, it will have a profound impact on a child's development.

Sleepers spend most of their time reading, sleeping, or playing games in their rooms, and rarely communicate with their families. They think they don't feel comfortable going out, so they have to adapt to staying at home and reversing black and white.

Many parents do not communicate with their children when they are young, which leads to a lack of understanding of how to communicate with their children when they grow up to be inhabitants. This vicious cycle continues, and some people are reluctant to go out for 10 or even 20 years.

Some of the dwellers have tried to reintegrate into society, but have chosen to give up after a setback in the workplace because they have parents who provide generous pensions and can choose to stay at home and spend their days at leisure.

Some people may wonder if the number of slumbering people has decreased with so many interesting activities out there now

In Japan, there is a group of people known as the "Tsuju people".

Japan's own statistics alone are enough to make people feel shocked.

In 2015, Japan's cabinet estimated the number at about 540,000, but in 2019 they speculated that the number could be closer to 1 million. At that time, many Japanese people did not believe it at all, thinking that with such a limited geographical area, how could it be possible for so many people to live such an abnormal life

However, it is surprising that not only did this number not decrease, but even increased from 540,000 to 1.46 million in just 7 years!

Today, that number will only rise to just over 1.46 million, and the trend continues to rise. Since the Japanese know that the term has a derogatory connotation, many people are reluctant to cooperate. As the pandemic passes, that number will only rise, not fall.

The results of the survey revealed a startling finding: it was surprising that it was previously widely believed that the people living in the home were likely to be young men, when in fact the ratio of men to women was almost the same.

It's no coincidence that they chose to escape, but according to surveys, only some suffer from mental illness, while others choose to stay closed for a variety of reasons. It is worth mentioning that most of them are in normal physical condition.

They are inherently lazy and have no interest in putting in the effort.

They may have little hope for change in Japan, and in the future Japan may need to find ways to encourage these people to actively participate in society, otherwise their numbers will continue to increase, and eventually they will have even more negative effects.
