Description

This paper explores the differences of home-visit care business performance between private for-profit and nonprofit organizations, the latter of which are divided into Government-Initiative NPOs and Private-Initiative NPOs in Japan, in order to analyze whether the market is on an equal footing base with respect to Long Term Care Insurance System. The results of a survey conducted by an Osaka University research group suggests that Government-Initiative NPOs are in a favored position to gain business expansion because of their long and close relationship with governments, this despite the fact that the Long Term Care Insurance System was introduced to open competition in the elderly care service market. It is also concluded that Government-Initiative NPOs are viewed much more negatively than Private-Initiative NPO in general voluntary nonprofit activities other than Long Term Care business.<br>
