Japanese Internet CafeTOKYO (AFP) — Japan on Friday opened a support centre for "Internet cafe refugees" to help the growing number of cash-strapped young people who virtually live in all-night Internet lounges.

Japan's economy has been recovering from recession in the 1990s, but critics say that many of the new jobs for young people are inadequate and are creating a new class of urban poverty.

The Japanese labour ministry last year estimated some 5,400 people, many young and working in temporary jobs, had virtually moved in to the all-night Internet and comic cafes found regularly in major cities like Tokyo.
