Poverty in Japan

Okay, so poverty in Japan means that there are some people who don't have enough money to live comfortably. Just like how sometimes you may not have enough money to buy all the toys or snacks you want, some grown-ups in Japan don't have enough money to buy things they need like food, clothes or a place to live.

What makes it harder is that in Japan, many things are very expensive. The cost of living is pretty high, which can make it tough for some people to make ends meet. Additionally, some people may not have a job or may not be making enough money at their job, which can make it difficult to pay for all the things they need.

The government in Japan tries to help people who are in poverty by giving them financial support, but sometimes it may not be enough. That is why some organizations and volunteers work together to help provide food or clothes to those in need.

It's important that everyone has access to basic necessities and that we help those who may be struggling. We can do this by being kind, helping out when we can, and advocating for policies that support those who are experiencing poverty.
