| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The current project examined social trends in caregiving in Japan by using national data of Comprehensive Survey of Living Conditions over the past 20 years, including changes since the implementation of the LTCI program. I used macro and micro level analysis from this dataset to predict future possible family caregiving profiles, which told whom and what types of caregiving should be given priority in establishing future policy at the societal level. The other project was a collaborative research at Johns Hopkins University to compare caregiving situations in Japan and the US. It aimed to clarify how care tasks were shared in both countries, and the impact these tasks had on family relationships and the psychological burdens. This comparison study had helped to reconsider the balance between formal and informal care.
