Abstract

Japan is a country that has dealt with the transition to an aging society effectively, with policies that have been adjusted according to the era of each government. But even so, it still cannot control the impact that may occur in the future. In particular, the increasing number of elderly people in the country will affect the workforce who takes care of nursing home care for the elderly as well. That is the shortage of nursing workers. Although Japan is known for its extensive welfare programs and its world-leading innovative technology bringing technology into use in this section. It's still not enough to serve the elderly who are becoming more and more advanced day by day. Thailand itself has also entered an aging society. This article therefore has the purpose of presenting information to study and learn for Thai society to deal with such problems soon. Currently, the government as well as the private sector have different policies or more services for the elderly. But this problem still needs to be pushed to the people to help manage and care for the elderly society together between the public sector, the private sector, and the public sector in the future.
