| Summary | The government launched a Ten-Year Strategy for Promoting Welfare and Health Maintenance for the Elderly with an emphasis on home care and began to make active efforts toward that objective in fiscal 1990. However, public welfare in reality suffers fiscal and other constraints, and the private sector is expected to play an increasingly important role in supplementing public welfare by, for example, participating in such "silver" businesses as elderly home and welfare equipment. This survey aims at investigating people's consciousness and intentions with regard to elderly care and grasping the actual state of elderly care at home. Respondents have been selected from a national universe of men and women aged between 40 and 64-an age group prone to and thus keenly aware of care of parents. |
