Japan’s New Weapon Against NEETs & Hikikomori: Miruku

The government wants otaku NEETs and hikikomori integrated into society and properly employed (or rather, paying taxes to support the oppressive weight of the unreformed pension system), and to this end at least one regional jobs bureau has opted to fight fire with fire, by unveiling its moe anti-NEET weapon Milk (or Miruku), pictured.






The “Support Station” in question is looking to get young people into work, so it seems moe marketing was deemed appropriate, and as a result we can now read “image character” Miruku’s profile (strangely her three sizes are omitted) and even her blog.

Just why she is called Miruku (which they romanise as “milk”) is not made clear.

All moderately interesting, but will it winkle NEETs out of their shells?

There is one slight problem which may impede Miruku’s ability to get people out of their foetid rooms and into the jobs centre: it seems Miruku will only be available to assist online…


you might wonder why to go to such extrem measures to get NEETS to work,well if it was a small % of people were NEETS in japan it would be fine but about 35-40% of the whole country's popualtion are NEETS,i guess u can tell how much money the country is losing off that

and for those who dont know what NEETS are:


NEET is an acronym for the government classification "Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training"
