The demographic crisis is not a fantasy, with a few children and many old the minimum wage will be enough to buy a drink.

USING «PHENOMENA» IN THE SINGULAR CONSTITUTES A BARBARISM; IT IS VIRTUALLY CANONIZED DUE TO THE WIDESPREAD COMMONALITY OF ITS USAGE; WIDESPREAD COMMONALITY OF USAGE DOES NOT ALTER THE MEANING OF WORDS, NOR DOES IT TURN ERRORS INTO GOOD FORM.

>Hikikomori
>Namely that they tend to come from well educated, middle/upper middle class families. They should be doing well by all accounts, but aren't. So in addition to Japanese society, there is probably a class component to the phenomenon as well. Also, a gender component---- its mostly male.
>As a hikikomori ages, the odds that he’ll re-enter the world decline. Indeed, some experts predict that most hikikomori who are withdrawn for a year or more may never fully recover. That means that even if they emerge from their rooms, they either won’t get a full-time job or won’t be involved in a long-term relationship. And some will never leave home. In many cases, their parents are now approaching retirement, and once they die, the fate of the shut-ins—whose social and work skills, if they ever existed, will have atrophied—is an open question.
