The Long-Term Care Insurance System was established in 2000 to prepare for Japan's rapidly aging population. This system is currently being reformed to place the integrated community care system at the core of its structure, and it requires mutual support between local authorities, regional volunteers, and NPOs. Fishing communities, gravely, face a significantly greater rate of population aging than the national average. In many cases, regional senior citizen support activities are led by women from the region, particularly through the Fisheries Cooperative Associations (FCA) women's groups. These women engage in activities such as visiting and delivering food to elderly households, and have created "salons" (activity centers) for use by the elderly. However, maintaining these activities is difficult because of the volunteers' aging and decline in the number of members. This paper provides an overview of the current state of senior citizen support activities, with particular emphasis on organizations led by women, based on case studies undertaken by regional organizations. Further, it analyzes and classifies the challenges faced by these organizations.
