| Tóm tắt: | This study analyses public attitudes towards the degree of government involvement in ensuring the
livelihood and care of the elderly in Japan. Using four waves of individual-level annual data from the
Japanese General Social Survey collected over the period 2000-2005, we estimate ordered logit
models with various explanatory variables based on the socio-demographic, economic, political, and
social background of the respondents. Many significant factors are common for both livelihood and
care specifications, their effects being qualitatively the same and in line with our prior expectations.
The estimation results also show positive coefficients of year intercept dummies, implying an increase
in support of a government-based system over time. Further investigation shows that this trend is
caused by those who favour government redistribution policies becoming increasingly more consistent
in their support for a government-based social security system in Japan. |
