This paper aims to discuss medical care and social welfare in the aging society by two extension of the standard input-output method，i.e., an analysis of interdependence between service and goods-producing sectors, and an interindustry multiplier analysis relates to the income/consumption nexus.
The method employed herein is to partition off the original Leontief inverse in terms of the combined effects of "internal multipliers", "external multipliers" of service and goods-producing sectors，and their induced sub-multipliers. Such a model conveys not only the ultimate total multiplier effects of interindustry propagation but also the disjoined effects separating into partial multipliers. The another method employed is to formulate in the form of the original interindustry Leontief inverse multiplied by a "subjoined inverse". This additional subjoined inverse reflects the effects of endogenous changes in the consumption demand of household sector of the economy.
The purposes of this study are to examine the structure of the health care economy among public economies in relation to its institutional background, and to determine the characteristics of synergetic interactions within the pair-wise economic linkages of public service activities, in comparison with private service activities, in relation to recent trends in the aging welfare economy.
