This paper examines how the introduction of the long-term care insurance (LTCI) in 2000 in Japan has changed the time allocation of female family caregivers. Drawing a sample from the Survey on Time Use and Leisure Activities, this paper estimates the association between the introduction of the LTCI and caregivers’ time allocation on caregiving, personal care, leisure, household work as well as market work. I find that the effects of the introduction of the LTCI on the time-allocation of caregivers depend on their employment status. In particular, the introduction of the LTCI has had little impact on the time allocation of caregivers who work for non-regular jobs while it has increased time spent on market work for caregivers who work for regular jobs and time spent on leisure for caregivers who are out of labor force.
