Letting Student Focus on their Studies
Families are put under significant financial strain when a parent passes away or is unable to work due to a mental or physical disability. Through extensive annual surveys throughout Japan, it has been found that young people in such households are much less likely to advance to university after high school. Instead, many choose to go straight to work due to financial concerns and family obligations, giving up on their future aspirations.
