The document discusses the shortage of child social workers in Japan and potential solutions. There were approximately 38,800 reported cases of child abuse in 2010 but only 4,200 child social workers. This has led to overworked social workers who report feeling strained. Other countries like the U.S. and U.K. have more child social workers per capita. The U.K. has programs like Home Start that involve volunteers visiting homes to prevent issues and connect families to services. Japan could implement a similar program to help address the shortage of social workers and prevent child problems.
