The claim
生活保護世帯数の33％が外国人世帯?
Original review summary
The claim compares a one-month total of welfare-recipient households with a figure that wrongly adds foreign households across 12 months. The review says foreign-national households were about 2.8% of the total in the latest annual data it cites.[S1]
Additional context
Nippon.com posted a correction on July 9, explaining that the figure of 568,197 was the sum of monthly counts over 12 months, not the number of distinct foreign households receiving welfare. [S1]
