- Title
Aged-Care Support in Japan: Perspectives and Challenges.
- Authors
Mitchell, Olivia S.; Piggott, John; Shimizutani, Satoshi
- Abstract
This article explores economic aspects of the market for long-term care (LTC) in Japan. As the world's most rapidly aging nation, it is of interest to understand that country's current LTC system and projections of LTC utilization patterns and costs, as well as their potential drivers. Since Japan appears likely to experience important shortfalls in LTC in the future, the authors also discuss alternate forms of provision.
