Poverty in Japan : ウィキペディア英語版 | Poverty in Japan
Japan, being the world's third largest economy, has a rising problem of poverty. Poverty figures are very hard to find in Japan. Because of its reputation as a developed country, it is generally assumed that the levels of poverty are relatively low. However several media reports contrast this. ==Measure of poverty==
In Japan, relative poverty is defined as a state at which the income of a household is at or below half of the median household income.〔 According to Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD), the mean household net-adjusted disposable income for Japan is $23,458. This income is in fact higher than OECD member state average of $22,387.〔(Income ), OECD Report.〕 The method used for estimation of poverty in Japan is same as that used in the U.K.. Japan's welfare ministry, put forward a request in 2012 national budget to come up with a new poverty index. This request was submitted so that the new index could include important factors affecting poverty, namely, health, food, clothing and living conditions. The new index is expected to provide a better insight into the lives of poor in Japan and the factors affecting them.〔 In the United States, a different method is used for estimation of poverty.〔(Statistics on Poverty )〕
