| Research Abstract |
Changing government-private relationships in the privatized area of human services were examined based on the panel surveys of service organizations operating under the long-term care insurance system (LTCI) in Japan. LTCI was the very first privatized-public human service system in the country. The outcomes indicated that nonprofit and for-profit organizations maintained differences under LTCI or the latter sector increased in similarities with the former sector. The outcome was opposite to the nonprofit and for-profit relationships reported from Western countries. The unique nonprofit and for-profit relationship under LTCI was explained based on the resource allocation mechanisms in relation to the roles of the government. The outcome was also compared with nonprofit and for-profit relationships in the US and in Taiwan, for the purpose of carving out the challenges that Japanese nonprofit organizations are especially required to overcome.
