| Annotation | Japan's older population is ageing rapidly, with consequences for health and welfare policy. This report describes the policies and programmes set out in the New Golden Plan (1994), a revision of the Ten-Year Strategy to Promote Health Care and Welfare for the Aged (Golden Plan, 1989). The following areas are covered: lifestyle and health of older people; concrete measures and future issues in the New Golden Plan; aims of health services for older people; medical care for older people; welfare measures for older people living at home (home help services, short-stay services, day care, technical aids); nursing homes and residential care homes; and housing. Also included is a section on statistical information on various topics related to the ageing population and services for older people. (AKM). |
