    A welfare state system that a central government and the local government manage as a main actor obtains social mutual agreement for a certain period after World War II. Though it is still assumed to be one ideal model now, a welfare state system faced up to various criticisms regarding the financial difficulty and controll people's daily life after 1970's. As a result, the welfare state surrender the seat of the ideal model gradually to the welfare society where the citizens, neighborhood groups and NPO take leading part. Therefore, the welfare state and the welfare society are located as existence which should be put on the pole concerning the management subject.
    It is thought that the welfare state values the policy for the low income layer from the basic goal. But by becoming of socialinsurance made a main pillar to the kernel gradually, middle class people has received the profit through that system. It does the aspect which can be called “Welfare state for middle class” or “Middle class colonization of welfare state”. On the other hand, NPO which is thought to be one of the center of the welfare society is an organization which is made by the efforts of the middle class people. Therefore, the social position of middle class is double meaning about the beneficiary from the welfare state and the supporter in the welfare society, too.
    In the advanced country, the relation of welfare state and welfare society should be reexamine through using concept of the middle class. This article is an essay to acquire such a new aspect

    Welfare state and modern medicine are said to have been in transiton. In what sense, and to what degree could we say they are changing? In this paper, the interrelationship between welfare state and medicine is traced over past two centuries. Special attention has been paid to close intersections between these two institutions, especially those in the period of 1970s to the present. In spite of the severe criticism raised recently, both of them seem to maintain their basic frame. In so doing, they also seem to reveal the premises and hypotheses on which they depend.

    The Japanese Diet passed the Long-term Care Insurance Bill in December 1997. The Long-term Care Insurance Law which creates universal long-term care insurance scheme shall come into force on the 1st of April, 2000.
    This paper aims to elucidate basic issues that should be examined and to present an analytical framework for sociological analysis of the significance of the creation of the long-term care insurance for the restructuring of the Japanese welfare state.
    Firstly, policy factors which led to the creation of the long-term care insurance are analyzed in terms of the continuities and changes in the long-term care policies of the Japanese government in the 1980s and the 1990s.
    Secondly, seven basic characteristics of the institutional design of the newly-created long-term care insurance are examined : universality of benefits, orientation to the national minimum of care service, adequacy of benefit level, financial arrangements, user charge, coordination of medical, health and welfare services, and the roles and functions of profit and non-profit organizations.
    Finally, social and policy significance of the creation of the long-term care insurance is examined using the theoretical frameworks of (1) the welfare state regime theory developed by G. Esping-Andersen, (2) gender approach to the welfare state typology, and (3) typology of welfare pluralism. Preliminary conclusions of this analysis are (1) that the newly-created scheme will function to maintain and reinforce the conservative nature of the Japanese social security regime, (2) that it will have more or less defamilializing effects in terms of the expansion of formal care services, and (3) that the contrasting nature of the Japanese long-term care insurance scheme and the British community care reform can be clarified by introducing the dual typology of the market-oriented and participation-oriented welfare pluralism, and the service-purchasing type and user-subsidizing type of welfare pluralism.

    In this paper, four issues were discussed in regards to the status quo of the sociology of health in Japan from the viewpoint of its forthcoming development.
    First of all, it was stated why “the sociology of health” should be regarded as the abbreviation for “the sociology of health, illness and health/medical care, ” and its reasons were shown accordingly.
    Secondly, it was described that “the sociology of health, ” in the above mentioned interpretation, had diversified comprehensiveness and systems in both of its subjects and approaches; and that “the sociology of health” in Japan must be developed in overall aspects of its various fields and approaches.
    Thirdly, it was shown that the genesis and development of “the sociology of health” was closely related to the paradigm shift in the present health/medical care, meaning to be against a biomedical model and then for a social model, and that “the sociology of health” in Japan should be evolved in the proper correlation of such paradigm shift.
    Lastly, several issues in regards to the sociological studies of health were discussed, and the development of problem-oriented studies was thusemphasized.

  • On possibility of minimal state which distributes

    1) : distribution of resources to live by state and 2) : maximization of direct indivudual decision of use of the resources can coexist and we should seek combination of both. It is only the way to respond to valid criticisms to welfare states.
    If we think life is right and therefore support of life is duty, only 1) is should be adopted. Because only state can force the nation to carry out their duty by law. Limitations of state bring about when rate of distribution is diffent among states and at the same time transfer of people and goods is free cross the border. So the direction which we should adopt in collection and provision of social resources is correction of diaparities among states, by no means shift from state to “community”.
    On the other hand, 2) urges us to rethink all social policy and social expenditure. That is, we can suspect that all uses of budget which have specific purposes (eg. buisiness stimulation) are unjust intervention to one's life. Some people often say that in social services user's direct choice is difficult. This argument is in part true, but we can reexamnine how many such cases exist and increase user's direct choices. And even when social supports to user's decision is needed, we can develop methods of decreasing unnecessay intervention.
