Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this research project is to show that there are regional differences in long-term care services and disability prevalence among the elderly, and to empirically clarify the factors. Using municipality-level data set, I found that there are regional differences within the same prefecture and local government policies are also factors contributing to the regional differences.
