Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>The only thing connecting each tiny room at the Happiness Factory to the outside world is a feeding hole in the door.<\/p>\n<p>No phones or laptops are allowed inside these cells, which are no bigger than a store cupboard, and their inhabitants have only bare walls for company.<\/p>\n<p>Residents may wear blue prison uniforms but they are not inmates &#8211; they have come to the centre in South Korea for a \u201cconfinement experience\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Most people here have a child who has fully withdrawn from society, and have come to learn for themselves how it feels to be cut off from the world.<\/p>\n<p><b>Solitary-confinement cell<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Reclusive young people like these residents&#8217; children are referred to as hikikomori, a term coined in Japan in the 1990s to describe severe social withdrawal among adolescents and young adults.<\/p>\n<p>Last year, a South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare survey of 15,000 19- to 34-year-olds found more than 5% of respondents were isolating themselves.<\/p>\n<p>If this is representative of the wider population of South Korea, it would mean about 540,000 people were in the same situation.<\/p>\n<p>Since April, parents have been participating in a 13-week parental education programme funded and run by non-governmental organisations (NGOs) the Korea Youth Foundation and the Blue Whale Recovery Centre.<\/p>\n<p>The aim of the scheme is to teach people how to communicate better with their children.<\/p>\n<p>The programme includes three days in a facility in Hongcheon-gun, Gangwon Province, where participants spend time in a room that replicates a solitary-confinement cell.<\/p>\n<p>The hope is isolation will offer parents a deeper understanding of their children.<\/p>\n<p><b>\u2018Emotional prison\u2019<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Jin Young-hae&#8217;s son has been isolating himself in his bedroom for three years now.<\/p>\n<p>But since spending time in confinement herself, Ms Jin (not her real name) understands her 24-year-old&#8217;s \u201cemotional prison\u201d a little better.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ve been wondering what I did wrong&#8230; it&#8217;s painful to think about,\u201d the 50-year-old says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut as I started reflecting, I gained some clarity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Reluctance to talk<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Her son has always been talented, Ms Jin says, and she and his father had high expectations of him.<\/p>\n<p>But he was often ill, struggled to maintain friendships and eventually developed an eating disorder, making going to school difficult.<\/p>\n<p>When her son began attending university, he seemed to be doing well for a term &#8211; but one day, he totally withdrew.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing him locked in his room, neglecting personal hygiene and meals, broke her heart.<\/p>\n<p>But although anxiety, difficulties in relationships with family and friends, and disappointment at not having been accepted into a top university may have affected her son, he is reluctant to talk to her about what is truly wrong.<\/p>\n<p>When Ms Jin came to the Happiness Factory, she read notes written by other isolated young people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Reading those notes made me realise, \u2018Ah, he&#8217;s protecting himself with silence because no-one understands him&#8217;,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Park Han-sil (not her real name) came here for her 26-year-old son, who cut off all communication with the outside world seven years ago.<\/p>\n<p>After running away from home a few times, he now rarely leaves his room.<\/p>\n<p>Ms Park took him to a counsellor and to see doctors &#8211; but her son refused to take the mental-health medication he was prescribed and became obsessed with playing video games.<\/p>\n<p><b>Interpersonal relationships<\/b><\/p>\n<p>While Ms Park still struggles to reach her son, she has started to better understand his feelings through the isolation programme.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve realised that it&#8217;s important to accept my child&#8217;s life without forcing him into a specific mould,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n<p>Research by the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare suggests there are a variety of factors driving young people to cut themselves off.<\/p>\n<p>According to the ministry&#8217;s survey of 19- to 34-year-olds, the most common reasons are:<\/p>\n<p>South Korea has some of the highest suicide rates in the world and last year, its government unveiled a five-year plan aiming to address this.<\/p>\n<p>Ministers announced there would be state-funded mental health check-ups for people aged 20-34 every two years.<\/p>\n<p>In Japan, the first wave of young people isolating themselves, in the 1990s, has led to a demographic of middle-aged people dependent on their elderly parents.<\/p>\n<p>And trying to support their adult children on just a pension has caused some older people to fall into poverty and depression.<\/p>\n<p>Prof Jeong Go-woon, from Kyung Hee University sociology department, says Korean society\u2019s expectation that big life milestones should be reached at set times amplifies young people\u2019s anxiety &#8211; especially in times of economic stagnation and low employment.<\/p>\n<p>The view that a child&#8217;s achievements are a parental success contributes to entire families sinking into the quagmire of isolation.<\/p>\n<p>And many parents perceive their child&#8217;s struggles as a failure in upbringing, leading to a sense of guilt.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Korea, parents often express their love and feelings through practical actions and roles rather than verbal expressions,\u201d Prof Jeong says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cParents financing their children&#8217;s tuition fees through hard work is a typical example of a Confucian culture that emphasises responsibility.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This cultural emphasis on hard work may reflect South Korea&#8217;s rapid economic growth in the second half of the 21st century, when it became one of the world&#8217;s major economies.<\/p>\n<p>However, according to the World Inequality Database, the country&#8217;s wealth inequality has worsened over the last three decades.<\/p>\n<p>Blue Whale Recovery Centre director Kim Ok-ran says the view that self-isolating young people are a &#8220;family problem&#8221; means many parents also end up cutting off those around them.<\/p>\n<p>And some are so afraid of being judged they cannot even talk to close family members about their situation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;They can\u2019t bring the issue out into the open, leading to the parents themselves becoming isolated as well,\u201d Ms Kim says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOften, they stop attending family gatherings during holidays.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>&#8216;Watching over&#8217;<\/b><\/p>\n<p>The parents who have come to the Happiness Factory for help are still eagerly awaiting the day their children can resume a normal life.<\/p>\n<p>Asked what she would say to her son if he came out of isolation, Ms Jin\u2019s eyes fill with tears.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You&#8217;ve been through so much,\u201d she says, voice trembling.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was hard, wasn&#8217;t it?<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be watching over you.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About Eritrea Follow Africa-Press<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211;
