| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In the provision of long-term care services for the elderly in the Nordic countries, municipalities play a major role in all three areas of "service delivery," i.e. "delivery", "financing" and "regulation". The organizations directly involved in long-term care, such as the organizations of the elderly and labor union organizations of care workers, also participate significantly in the policy-making process. In both Scandinavia and Japan, "re-familisation" and "privatisation" are progressing along with the "marketisation" of long-term care services, creating social inequality depending on the economic status of the care recipient. In Japan, the lack of a well-developed home-visit care service provisions resulted in high concentration of older people with severe care needs in residential care. This has a significant impact on the tasks and work conditions of care workers.
