Abstract
The total population of Japan is 125.5 million (as of October 1, 2021). Of this population, 36.21 million are aged 65 and over, accounting for 28.9% of the total population (aging rate). This is unprecedented in the world. The age of the main caregivers living with a person requiring nursing care in Japan is 72.4% for men and 73.8% for women aged 60 or older. This indicates that there are a considerable number of cases of so-called "aged care. Therefore, in this study, the authors focus on caregivers and examine cases from the viewpoint of family support for the current state of caregiving that has emerged.
