| Annotation | In anticipation of the adult social care Green Paper this summer, the Nuffield Trust undertook a visit to Japan to study the country's social care system. Japan introduced a long-term care insurance system in 2000, which established new models of funding and delivery, and endeavoured to create a positive vision of ageing. Part social insurance, part taxation and part co-payment model, the new system aims to provide comprehensive and holistic care according to need. This report offers an overview of the Japanese long-term care insurance system, and asks what lessons can be drawn from a country that has demonstrated it is possible to achieve fundamental social care reform, despite formidable demographic, economic and social pressures.
