The problems of an ageing population are particularly acute in
Japan. These problems include people living longer, with many
needing more care, and the problems of supporting them by a
diminishing working population and a diminishing tax base. This
book, based on extensive fieldwork in a Japanese institution for
the elderly, explores the problems associated with ageing and
responses to it in Japan. By looking at the institution from the
viewpoints of residents, staff and visitors, as well as from the
policy point of view, the book carefully assesses how far the home
succeeds in offering an acceptable quality of life to the home's
residents. It gives insights into the life and work of long-term
care institutions; discusses how people in Japan have changed their
perceptions towards family responsibility, the institutionalization
of the elderly, and rights of welfare; and examines how
institutions for the elderly are run in Japan and how their
management differs from that in the West.
