| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this research project is to explore what determines the variation of universalistic social welfare programs across advanced industrialized democracies. The quantitative study analyzing public expenditures for elderly care programs and the qualitative case studies of Sweden, Japan and the United States reveal that electoral rules and party systems influence the variation of public elderly care programs across advanced industrialized countries.
