Abstract
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.
