| Summary |
The Department of Research on the Staffing Industry, Institute of Social Science, the University of Tokyo has established a research project entitled "Capacity Development and Employment Management of Home Helpers under the Revised Long-Term Care Insurance." Together with 14 home care service providers, this survey examines service providers’ role and the management of stations to enhance care workers’ (helpers’) abilities and job satisfaction. This survey was conducted to clarify various issues pertinent to creating a workplace where helpers can work enthusiastically and easily demonstrate their abilities. For this purpose, a detailed survey was conducted on the work content of helpers who provide home care services (including preventive care) under long-term care insurance, their wishes regarding work and skill development, and the status of their stations. |
