However, the social welfare coverage for those people are much lower than the full-time regular employees, including health care, pensions and unemployment insurance.

[9] The length of time that unemployed workers can receive benefits depends on the age of the employee, and how long they have been employed and paying in.
[13] Japan's welfare state utilizes an egalitarian principle designed at providing equal aid to all individuals.
With a monthly allowance of ¥100,000 and traffic fee, people who are registered at public employment security offices (PESOs) could receive the occupational training and get ready for their new career.
Most unemployed workers fit in the first category, and based on the released Manuel from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, their standard training period is 3 months to 1 year, ranging from gardening to architecture.
