Abstract

"Self-support program for public assistance" was established, and the work support program for public assistance recipients has been implemented in welfare offices since 2005. "Self Support" for the public assistance recipients has been the subject of focus, but on the other hand their income levels and living conditions have not been researched sufficiently. The authors investigated the households who left the public assistance (Welfare Leavers for employment) in P city, Osaka from 2006 to 2008, and examined their income levels and form of employment. In this paper, we compare our findings (P city survey) with "Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions" and "Employment Status Survey". As a result, the following points were clarified. 1) Public assistance "Independence" person appears to be changing to working poor because of low income and temporary employment. 2) The households have no choice but to rely on other social security benefits after becoming independent of public assistance.
