According to a joint analysis of the data of welfare recipients held by Osaka City by Osaka City and Osaka City University, the period from resident registration to the start of receiving benefits was as short as less than 6 months in FY2015, 19.8% for men and 10.6% for women. It turned out to be up.It seems that the fact that people in need of living have flowed into Osaka City from other areas and are receiving welfare protection has become clear.

 According to Osaka City University, 6% of men under the age of 34 and 26.4% of men aged 45 to 54 received welfare benefits in less than 21.7 months after entering Osaka City.In contrast, females accounted for only 15-16%, showing a large difference between males and females.

 By household, 26.6% are single men.The percentages of single-injured and sick people were 24.1%, single elderly people 16.8%, and single-person disabled people 15.6%, while the percentages of general households were less than 5% and that of female single-mother households was only 10%.It was once again shown that the influx of people in need of living is high for single men, and it can be said that Osaka City is accepting single men in need of living from all over the country.
In terms of administrative distinction, the largest ward for males reached 33.2%, while the largest ward for females was 18.6%, and there were several wards with less than 5%.

 The continuation rate of livelihood protection is around 10% for 20 years and around 5% for 40 years for men.This tendency did not change significantly from the case where the period from resident registration to the start of receipt was 6 months or more.There are very few withdrawals from welfare due to employment, but there are many withdrawals due to death or disappearance.

 As of March, the number of welfare recipients in Osaka City is 3, the highest in Japan.The city of Osaka provided the data to Osaka City University and jointly analyzed it in order to analyze the characteristics of the beneficiaries and use them to improve the welfare system and provide appropriate payments.This is the first attempt in Japan to analyze using the administrative data held by the city.
