Number of certified care workers Japan 2013-2023

As of 2023, around 1.94 million licensed care workers were registered in Japan, indicating a continuous increase in the last decade. It is required to pass a state exam to become a certified care worker in Japan.Impact of super-aged society Due to the low birth rates and the high life expectancy, the number of people aged 65 and older in Japan is increasing and is projected to reach a share of over 38 percent of the population in Japan by 2060. This is reflected in the growing number of residents in nursing homes for the elderly. Like many other aging societies, Japan is experiencing a shortage of physicians and medical staff. The Japanese government has aimed to reduce the shortage by inviting foreign workers into the country through programs like the technical intern training program. Long-term care insurance The long-term care insurance (LTCI) system is established to aid the increasing number of people who need long-term care or support. Workers over 40 years of age pay an income-based premium and can access any benefits from the age of 65. Since its launch in 2000, the monthly number of people using long-term care services has shown steady growth and is expected to increase further. As a result, the annual expenses for the LTCI system have risen as well.截至2023年，日本注册的合法护理工作者数量约为194万，显示出在过去十年中的持续增长。在日本，欲成为认证护理工作者，须通过国家考试。面对超老龄化社会的冲击，由于生育率下降和人均寿命延长，65岁及以上的老年人口数量正在增加，预计到2060年将占日本总人口的38%以上。这一现象在老年护理院居民数量的增长中得到了体现。与许多其他老龄化社会一样，日本正面临着医生和医疗人员的短缺。日本政府旨在通过技术实习生培训计划等举措，吸引外国工人进入国内以缓解这一短缺。长期护理保险制度：为协助日益增加需要长期护理或支持的人群，建立了长期护理保险（LTCI）制度。40岁以上的工作者需缴纳基于收入的保险费，并在65岁后享有任何福利。自2000年推出以来，每月使用长期护理服务的人数呈现稳定增长，预计将进一步增加。因此，LTCI制度的年度支出也随之上升。
