Loneliness becoming 'norm' in Japan

Hitori Shabu-Shabu in Tokyo

According to NLI Research Institute living alone will be the norm in Japan by 2020.

“People are becoming more isolated. They used to live in friendly communities where neighbours would help them.

“Now people want to protect their privacy, so people in these communities have never even met their neighbours. They don’t know if they live alone or it’s a couple or a family.

“So sometimes people die alone without anyone noticing.”
