Abstract

The increasingly aging population in Japan since 1990s had been a major social building up burdens and hampering socioeconomic development. Facing with a multitude of senior citizens, handling with aging population tops first on Japanese government’s agenda. Among all coping strategies, the Long-term Nursing Insurance System was put forward in 1997. By altering policy entity from central government alone to later including in local authorities and resources from all walks of life, it greatly improved the caring situation and well-being of the aged, and is a leading model of probable solutions to aging society, not least for countries hounded by growing burdens of social welfare. This paper aims to present a brief introduction of this system and an overall analysis of its strengths as well as its improvement since first promulgated.
