Japan is probably the closest by actually having the hikikomori problem in public discourse. Most of the rest of the world they probably end up homeless.

Japan is just ahead of the curve when it comes to problems related to arrested development. They're not better at planning, they just experienced their tipping point earlier

Lots of people end up on welfare and in social housing under similar situations. We stigmatize those people so much that it never enters public discourse in the same way.

People who are unhoused tend to have even more severe difficulties resulting in that situation.
