At least as far as I know, many people who help Hikikomori people to achieve economic and social independence say "Don't rush to start working."
I think what they meant to say was that if Hikikomori people who are unemployed for a long time rush to start working, they tend to fail, and at worst, their conditions worsen. They are not used to work. Many of them are even not used to go outside and communicate with people.
Long time ago, I saw a TV program about Hikikomori. In the program, Tamaki Saito, a psychiatrist, answered a question from Hikikomori people in early twenties who want to work early because it's difficult for aged 25 or over to land a job in Japan. Saito said it's better to experience social interaction at first in places for Hikikomori people such as Hikikomori daycare. In a recent report, Saito uses a metaphor "Before Hikikomori people begin to swim in the sea or river soon, they should train themselves in safer pool over and over again" to emphasizes the necessity of participating in places for Hikikmori people.
In addition, one person who help Hikikomori people to achieve economic and social independence taught me that some Hikikomori people have mental disorder. According to her, in that cases, they should get medical help at first.
But in reality, the longer people are unemployed, the more difficult they land jobs. I guess that's why some (or many?) Hikikomori people rush to start working. And some Hikikomori people may be not able to afford to prepare for working for a long time for some reason (e.g. economic reason).
I guess some Hikikomori people have the possibility of landing a job without stopping once. In fact, I know such a man. So, I think it's a way to work soon after Hikikomori people decide to do so.
