Abstract
As the LTCI system was steadily established, the number of people requiring long-term care/needed support increased by about 2.7 million, from 2.18 million (April 2000) to 4.87 million (April 2010). The greatest increase was among those with relatively slight ‘need for support’ and ‘need of Care Level 1’ categories (Overview Financial Status of Long-Term Care Insurance System 2011; Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare 2007).
