At present, unemployed young people who are homebodies "closed to themselves" with their spirit "introverted" are becoming a serious social problem in Japan. This study examines the current employment situation and problems of the youth from aspects of the measures taken by the Japanese government to address the problems of child-reduction and youth employment, employment of the youth and the labor market, and the challenges faced by the unemployed youth in both the public and private sectors. The study fi nds that, despitevarious measures taken by the government, many young people living in distress,in reality, are still not covered by employment and livelihood support measures and cannot get their corresponding services, whereas the government is seeking further improvement measures. Hence, there is still a long way to go before we can fundamentally solve the problems of youth employment in Japan in the period of childlessness.
