Super Casual Japanese with Teppei

Season 1 : Episode 12 : “Oh yesterday was so fun” In Casual Japanese (1-minute episodes)

A record 78% of Japanese people feel anxious or worried, according to a new government survey.

That's the highest proportion in the 43 years the government has been asking people about these feelings.

Common worries among the adults who took part included health, life after retirement, and future income. Almost 64% of people said they're worried about their health, while 63% said they're worried about what their lives will look like after they stop working.

This was quite a small survey, however, and it was done by mail, with only 1,830 people across the country taking part.

Previous surveys have been done in person, and the government said people should be cautious before making comparisons between this year's survey and those done in the past.

But the survey did find that people in Japan are a little happier with their finances this year than they were in 2023.

However, 66% of people said they think the government should do more to combat inflation.

It's not just in Japan that people are anxious. Other reports have found that this is a real problem around the world.

At the end of 2023, almost half of young workers from seven countries said they found it difficult to work because they were so worried about what they saw in the news. Many felt they were living in a time of uncertainty, with wars happening across the world and geopolitical tensions rising.

esempio: mi puoi dare una mano a fare gli esercizi di matematica?
n.b. dare una mano (che vuol dire “aiutare”) ha un significato molto diverso dall’espressione “darsi la mano” che vuol dire letteralmente “stringere la mano di un’altra persona” e in senso figurato “darsi la mano” vuol dire “fare la pace”.
