A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF KOREA'S LONG-TERM CARE PROGRAM

Jeon, Haesang

Abstract Details

2007, Master of Gerontological Studies, Miami University, Gerontology.
In 1980 the proportion of the population in Korea aged 65 and over was only 3.0%. By 2000, that proportion had jumped to 7.2% and is expected to be 24.0% in the year 2030 (Korea National Statistical Office, 2002). The challenges of this demographic shift include the ability of the government to provide an adequate long-term care program for its disabled elders. This study explores the Korean long-term care program that will start in 2008. In order to better understand the Korean long-term care program, this study examines how three other nations (Germany, Japan and the United States) deliver long-term care services and compares the underlying policy models for all four nations. This study also critically analyzes the program theory and implications of the Korean long-term care program.
