Although several surveys have suggested that socioeconomic factors function as background variables for the incidence of hikikomori (prolonged social withdrawal), no research has directly examined whether socioeconomic indicators increase the incidence of hikikomori. This study aimed to examine the relationship between socioeconomic factors and the incidence of hikikomori using data from eight cross-sectional studies conducted by our group between 2010 and 2019.
We used socio-economic data from national surveys and collected the demographic data of members of a multi-branch Japanese association for family members of hikikomori patients for the period of 2010-2019.
The results of the partial correlation analysis showed that the incidence probability of hikikomori increased in tandem with unemployment rates and household income. Further, the associations were positively strong in the 2010-2015 research period; however, they were absent, weak, or medium in the 2016-2019 research period.
The findings suggest that socioeconomic factors relate to the increase in hikikomori, and that these factors should be considered when identifying the individual or cultural factors that cause hikikomori.
尽管有几项调查表明，社会经济因素是 hikikomori（长时间的社会退缩）发病的背景变量，但尚无研究直接检验社会经济指标是否会增加 hikikomori 的发病率。本研究旨在使用我们小组在 2010 年至 2019 年期间进行的八项横断面研究的数据，检验社会经济因素与 hikikomori 发病率之间的关系。
我们使用来自全国性调查的社会经济数据，并收集了 hikikomori 患者家属多分支日本协会成员的人口统计数据，时间跨度为 2010-2019 年。
偏相关分析的结果表明，hikikomori 的发病率与失业率和家庭收入呈正相关。此外，在 2010-2015 年的研究期间，关联非常强；然而，在 2016-2019 年的研究期间，这些关联不存在、较弱或中等。
研究结果表明，社会经济因素与 hikikomori 的增加有关，在确定导致 hikikomori 的个体或文化因素时，应考虑这些因素。
