49 According to the expert in the passage, which of the following may be the solution to the hikikomori phenomenon?
(A) Organizing campaigns to encourage them to seek help.
(B) Sending support staff to visit them more often.
(C) Giving money and job to families with hikikomori.
(D) Forcing them to hospitals to receive therapies.

As hikikomori refuse to participate in society, let alone go to work, Japan’s economy also suffers. They diminish the size of the workforce, so they contribute to a tighter labor market. Also, they are not self-sufficient, so when family support dries up due to death or financial problems, they will need to rely on state assistance.

由於蟄居族拒絕參與社會活動，更不用說去工作，日本的經濟也受到了影響。它們減少了勞動力規模，從而導致勞動力市場更加緊張。此外，他們不能自給自足，因此當家人因死亡或經濟問題而失去支持時，他們就需要依靠國家援助。

       Japanese government plans to set up counseling centers and have support staff visit hikikomori at home in a bid to boost the country’s flagging workforce. But some criticize this may put pressure on hikikomori. Professor Jeff Kingston, an Asian studies professor in Tokyo, said, “One can only hope that more access to various therapies and public health campaigns to destigmatize the phenomenon will encourage more to seek help, find it, and learn to manage their symptoms so that they can lead more productive and fulfilling lives.”

日本政府計劃設立諮詢中心，並派支援人員到家裡探訪“蟄居族”，以提振該國日益疲軟的勞動力。但有人批評此舉可能會給蟄居族帶來壓力。東京亞洲研究教授傑夫金斯頓表示：“我們只能希望，通過提供更多機會獲得各種療法，並開展公共衛生運動來消除對這種現象的歧視，將鼓勵更多人尋求幫助、找到幫助，並學會控制自己的症狀，這樣他們才能過上更有成效、更充實的生活。”
