As life expectancy continues to rise and birthrates decline, nations around the world face unprecedented challenges in caring for aging populations. This book offers a comprehensive analysis of long-term care insurance systems―both public and private―and the evolving landscape of eldercare services across diverse countries.
Driven by three critical factors―the growing number of elderly individuals requiring intensive care, the need to eliminate "social hospitalization," and the escalating costs of medical care for seniors―governments have been compelled to rethink and restructure their approaches to long-term care. First, the rapid increase in average life expectancy has led to an increase in the number of bedridden elderly and those suffering from dementia, and the need for and importance of long-term care has grown. Second, it was necessary to eliminate "social hospitalization”. Social hospitalization refers to a condition in which a patient is not in need of medical care but remains hospitalized in a medical institution for compelling reasons such as family circumstances. Third, medical costs for the elderly were increasing rapidly. It was necessary to control the increase in medical costs by separating medical care from long-term care.
Through comparative research and policy analysis, this book clarifies the distinct roles of public and private insurance models and offers actionable recommendations for sustainable and equitable care in aging societies. It is an essential resource for policymakers, healthcare professionals, researchers, and anyone invested in the future of social welfare and eldercare.

Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).

Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
