On the Relationship between Price and Services of Senior Housing in Japan

本研究的主题为：(1)日本长期照护的经济效应；(2)日本老年住宅市场的重组；(3)日本老年住宅价格与服务的关系。结果如下：(1)通过投入产出分析对日本长期照护产业的经济效应进行评估，发现劳动密集型的日本长期照护产业在第一效应上的影响小于其他产业，但包括第二效应和第三效应在内的整体影响大于其他产业。(2)在以监测和咨询服务为特色的新型老年住宅立法后，日本老年住宅市场迅速扩大，未来有可能以新型老年住宅取代传统老年住宅。(3)老年住房价格与照顾者数量呈强相关。但应该注意，因为这个数字不是真实的，而是广告。

In this study, there are three themes such as (1) the economic effect of long-term care in Japan, (2) reorganization of senior housing market in Japan, (3) the relationship between price and services of senior housing in Japan. The results are as follows. (1) When estimating the economic effect of Japanese long-term care sector by input and output analysis, we conclude that Japanese long-term care sector which is categorized as labor-intensive has less impact than others in terms of the first effect but the whole impact including the second and the third effects can be more than others. (2) After the legislation of a new kind of senior housing featuring monitoring and consulting service, Japanese senior housing market has expanded rapidly and it is possible that the new one would replace traditional ones in the future. (3) The price of senior housing is strongly related with the number of care givers. But attention should be paid because that number is not real but advertised.
