One of the serious social problems is the increasing of number of public assistance recipients. This article would like to suggest that those recipients capable of gaining "independence by working" should be identified and a system established to assist them in achieving this goal. For the purposes of this study, a database containing 502 public assistance recipients in Tagawa, Fukuoka Prefecture was examined. Through a statistical analysis of this database, the following recommendations towards independence from public assistance may be made:1) In the initial stages of public assistance, administrators and caseworkers should offer incentives to work to recipients.2) For the sake of recipients who are single mothers, the number of day-nursery facilities should be increased in order to assist them in job-hunting and/or the procurement of work-related qualification or skills.3) For recipients suffering from some form of addiction (e.g. drugs, gambling, alcohol), the treatment of their addiction should be prioritized
