TOKYO (Reuters) - Less than a fifth of Japan's young people believe their parents's lives are worth living, according to a government report issued on Monday, in a sign of the yawning gulf between the generations.
Concerned about the rising number of "NEETs" -- young people who are not in employment, education or training -- the government polled 7,500 people aged 15 to 29 and their parents about a range of topics including work and independence. Few seemed willing to follow in their parents' footsteps. ¶ 1:50 PM
