Medical - Medical: Health Care | | Japanese term or phrase: ｢生計維持者｣ | Problem sentence:
｢生計維持者｣とは、扶養者の生計費の大半を、その収入により支出している人です
I am having trouble making sense of the above sentence.
From the context, I assume 生計維持者 refers to the main breadwinner of a family, and that the income earned by the breadwinner is used to support other members of the family.
However, my dictionary says 扶養者 means breadwinner, not dependents. Am I misunderstanding this sentence?
The term 非生計維持者is also used without any definition.
Basically, bereaved family members receive more compensation if the patient who died was a 生計維持者. |
