Abstract

In order to solve the problems of aging, disability and half-disability, most countries have established and implemented a well-established long-term care insurance system. As a country with a relatively aging population and a population pattern of ‘421’, China has set up 15 long-term care pilot programs. It can solve the problems caused by aging. Besides, it can also improve its social security system. It has conducted for purposes of exploring models, improving systems and accumulating experience. In order to make the type comparable, this paper divides long-term care modes overseas into four types. They are social long-term care insurance model, subsidy (welfare) system long-term care model, commercial long-term care insurance model and care treatment model within medical insurance system. Through a comparative analysis of these four types and descriptions of the actual implementation of their representative countries, we will find some long-term care systems that fit our national conditions. Therefore, we can propose perfect methods and schemes for each pilot of the long-term care system that is being piloted.
