V. Social Security: Medical Services

Eiko Shinozuka

Japanese Economy, 1976, vol. 5, issue 1, 55-69

Abstract: Our research on poverty in Japan placed primary interest in locating elements of poverty that persist in various parts of national life, shunning the classical approach to poverty. Likewise, my study of poverty in medical services is not concerned with medical services dispensed to families on welfare. I am primarily interested in showing the current state of medical services in Japan, indicating the relative positions of demanders and suppliers of medical services in the present medical system. This examination will be followed by a study of the influences of demand and supply on income through prices. Consequently, this report has two parts, the current state of medical services and income distribution. This report concentrates on fact-finding and contains no policy proposal.
