Real unemployment in Japan reaches 25.5%

[launch]

In Japan, are people who face unemployment and financial hardship called "girlie-men" by their leaders like we are here in the USA?

Some people tend to think that being employed mean that you work for someone, and gain 'financial compensation'.

Now... What about those who work alone without registering his work to the authority, or work without monetary gain instead of other kind gain, or just work to live (farming his own food, building his own house), and so on.

Being a housewife is a work too, and a hard work indeed, just ask your mother.



The other problem is that 'employment rate' is often used as a terror/scare tactic to terrorize people.

People are fooled into thinking that high employement rate equal good life. How to terrorize people using this pre-programmed notion? Just have the mass media say that unemployment rate is rising, that will definetly scared some people.

The same goes vice versa.



But I do know one thing, if you don't work, you can't live. And you are alive when you are working.

If you are alive, you got to work to make sure that you stay alive. And when you are working, you are alive.

Considering that most of Japan's population are still living, I say that most of Japan's population are working.

Even little children work too, going up, going into the dining room, eat, go to the bedroom, and then sleep. Even THAT take work.

If I used that definition as the definition for employment rate, I say that employment rate of people around the world are 99%.
