| Research Abstract |
This research program projects the future financial status of health and long-term care insurances, and analyzes the shape of burdens among generations. At an earlier stage of this research, the estimation of lifetime burdens by generation implies that the transition from the present system to the funded insurance system will reduce the inequality in burdens. At a later stage, the stochastic simulation model is developed. Since the qualitative results are the same as in the deterministic model, the uncertain future economic conditions are not likely to be a hurdle for the reform that introduces the funded system.
