This paper reports on a review that explored the experiences of a number of countries in reforming their arrangements for funding and delivering long term care. It aimed to: describe the key features of social care funding and service delivery in a number of countries; examine the current debates and reforms in arrangements for funding and delivery in these countries; discuss the implications and lessons for reform in England. In doing so, three issues were of particular interest: the promotion of choice through individual budgets; sustainability of current arrangements; the extent to which funding and delivery arrangements apply equally to older and younger people with care and support needs. The paper concludes with a number of lessons for the reform of care and support in England.

In an 'Ie', a traditional Japanese household, the care for the elderly used to be given by a grown up child living together with them. This gave older people a sense of security. Socio economic changes in Japan after 1943 have altered 'Ie' and the nature of elderly care. However social services are not adequately available to the public especially in elderly care.
