| Abstract | There is often competition within providers of different sectors in quasi-market of social service introduced by government. The welfare reform from the beginning 2000s made it easier for nonprofits and co-ops to enter the human care service in Japan. In case of elderly care, the public long-term care insurance system for the elderly was introduced in 2000. Through the introduction of the system, new care service providers included for-profits and incorporated nonprofits were urged to enter the elderly long-term care services particularly at-home care services. As a result, nowadays, the elderly care quasi-market in Japan includes markets for goods and services in which for-profit, non-profit, cooperative and government providers coexist as ‘mixed-form’ markets (Marwell & McInerney, 2005). |
