#38 14 Years of Social Withdrawal Solved by UberEats

Social Withdrawal called HIKIKOMORI in Japanese has been a problem in Japan for at least 30 years or so. Most of them are younger adults who were withdrawn from society for various reasons and do not or cannot go to work and stay home most of the time while having their elder parents take care of them. Nowadays it has become a long-term problem so that their parents are too old to take care, and with no income. It is difficult for them to seek care or advice from outside, and they have become isolated from society. In some cases, it ends up killing themselves. There is an article about one man who used to withdraw for 14 years but became active because of UberEats. Let’s see if his story can unbox Japan. https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/baf55c1c0c279b3dff903c02e72976ae6a582439
