Unemployment in Japan

This guy is paying about 1,500 yen per day to live in this "net room" - a small box with an internet connection.
He lost his house and all his possessions - and lost his family too after they left him.
Now he lives here while searching for part time jobs to make ends meet.
Full video report about the "Net Room Refugees" at CNN.
