Research Abstract

Local level administration of the Long Term Care Insurance program (LTCI) in Japan was examined to assess variances in program outcomes, based on official statistics and interviews with city officials and care managers. Data were analyzed focusing on endogenous and exogenous factors to the municipalities. There were three key findings. First, because the structure of LTCI is centralized, local authorities are highly regulated. Second, relationships between providers and local authorities were an important source of variances in LTCI implementation. These relationships are determined by the path-dependent nature of service provision in rural areas and the quantity of providers in urban area. Third, variation in implementation was greater when clear central policies were lacking. These results suggest that if local authorities are to play central roles in LTC policy, it is necessary to consider the limitations of highly centralized institutional structure, and the path dependent nature of service development in the community.
