| Annotation | Of all the industrialised countries, Japan has the fastest rate of population ageing and the highest life expectancy at birth. It is projected that the proportion of older people will reach 35.7% in 2050. In this demographic environment, Japan launched a social insurance programme for long-term care for older people in 2000. What were the forces that led Japan to establish a long-term care programme for older people? What are the provisions for financing benefits and service delivery? What aspects of policymaking in developing such a programme are unique to Japan? (RH). |
