Working poor

Do you know the word " Working poor"? Lately, in Japan the windening gap between rich and poor is one of the serious problems in the society. Once people become the working poor, they can't earn enough money to live, even though they work very hard like everyday, more than 15 hours. And its vicious cycle will continue. It is because they can't get the stable adrerss and have to pay insuranse. I feel government should make more effective social insurance system, and have to take actions against the windening gap in order to make the society better.

I agree with you."Working poor" is not a individual problem but a social problem.We have to take this situation seriously as a our own problem.

There are organizations to support working poor. But they are privetly-operated and not public. Some organization even had appealed to Ministry of Health, Labour,and Welware, but they never responded seriously. I think Japanese public/civil service is too lazy.
