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 whole issue of ageing and responses to it
in Japan, and compares the Japanese approach in these matters with
Western approaches. It discusses how people in Japan have changed
their perceptions towards family responsibility, the
institutionalization of the elderly, and rights of welfare. It also
discusses how institutions for the elderly are run in Japan and how
their management differs from that in the West.
