| Abstract: | Japan's population is aging faster than that of any other advanced country and care for senior citizens is becoming a top policy priority for the government. But the Health and Welfare Ministry, which is directly responsible for care policy, now finds itself hard pressed to push for measures after senior officials were involved in welfare related scandals. Japan's snowballing financial deficits, which make the country one of the most debt-ridden in the world, add to the problems. |
