Has Japan solved the problem of homelessness?

“Has Japan solved the problem of homelessness? And even if it has not, what lessons for other countries does the Japanese experience have to offer? According to Japanese government statistics, Japan’s street homeless population peaked in 2003 at 25,296. The figure for 2023 was 2,830 – 2,575 men, 172 women, and 73 ‘unclear’. That is an 89% decline. Of course these figures must be treated with caution, but there seems little doubt that Japan’s street homeless population is far lower than most other industrialized countries. So has Japan virtually “solved” the problem of homelessness? Or is the truth more complex? This podcast will outline the reasons for Japan’s low homeless population, explore problems that still remain, and discuss ways in which the Japanese experience may offer hints to other countries struggling with large and growing homeless populations. The panel includes a Japanese homeless activist and the manager of a homeless shelter in Yokohama, as well as British and American academic specialists in the field. Organizer: Tom Gill, Professor of Social Anthropology, Meiji Gakuin University Other members: Masao Seno, head of the Hamakaze Living Autonomy Support Centre, YokohamaTetsuo Ogawa, homeless activistMatthew Marr, Associate Professor of Sociology, Florida International University Profiles of Panelists Tom Gill is Professor of Social Anthropology at Meiji Gakuin University and author of Yokohama Street Life: The Precarious Career of a Japanese Day Laborer (Lexington Books, 2015). Masao Seno is head of Hamakaze, the only municipal homeless shelter in Yokohama, Japan’s second-biggest city, and as such at the cutting edge of homeless policy in Yokohama. Tetsuo Ogawa has been living in a homeless community in Tokyo’s Yoyogi Park for many years, and is an articulate advocate for the rights of homeless people. Matthew Marr has studied homelessness in the USA and Japan, and is the author of Better Must Come (Cornell University, 2015), a comparative study of homelessness in Los Angeles and Tokyo.
