Japan's welfare ministry says the number of households that received welfare benefits in September rose to more than 1.26 million, the largest ever on record.
The ministry says about one million 267,000 households across the country depended on welfare benefits in September. This is an increase of more than 12,000 from the figure for the previous month.
The number of families receiving welfare benefits had risen by more than 10,000 for 7 months in a row since the start of March.
The ministry says it will step up measures to create jobs in areas such as care giving, agriculture, and other industries in an effort to stem the increase in the number of families dependent on welfare benefits.
