Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2005.

This dissertation examines how social care providers adjust elderly and child care services during a period characterized by "population aging with fewer children." It attempts to determine whether or not such adjustments serve to strengthen the advantage of one age group over the other during this demographic shift. Two contrasting theories, "Malthusian" and "Prestonian," guide us in this exploration. The former predicts a better situation for children because of their decreasing number, while the latter assumes a favorable situation for the elderly because of their increasing number. This research pays particular attention to changes in a larger policy context; welfare pluralism, normalization and diversification of care services and national care planning. It hypothesizes that the associations between demographic variables and the responses of care providers should vary among the public, nonprofit and for-profit sectors, between "new" and "conventional" types of services, and across time.

520 $a This dissertation examines how social care providers adjust elderly and child care services during a period characterized by "population aging with fewer children." It attempts to determine whether or not such adjustments serve to strengthen the advantage of one age group over the other during this demographic shift. Two contrasting theories, "Malthusian" and "Prestonian," guide us in this exploration. The former predicts a better situation for children because of their decreasing number, while the latter assumes a favorable situation for the elderly because of their increasing number. This research pays particular attention to changes in a larger policy context; welfare pluralism, normalization and diversification of care services and national care planning. It hypothesizes that the associations between demographic variables and the responses of care providers should vary among the public, nonprofit and for-profit sectors, between "new" and "conventional" types of services, and across time.
520 $a This research applies ordinary least square regression to a dataset of the 54 inland municipalities of Tokyo in 1989, 1994 and 1999. The dependent variable is the difference in the amount of social care services that each sector maintains for the elderly, on the one hand, and children, on the other, which is measured by an "age service index." There are three main independent variables; elderly population growth, child population change, and the relative size of elderly population.
520 $a The results generally support the Prestonian view rather than the Malthusian view. The public and nonprofit sectors tend to serve older people better than children as the population ages, despite the childcare initiative that was introduced in the latter 1990s. However, the significance of demographic changes varies across sectors, services and time. Population aging influences provision of the two age-based social care services. Yet, the relationships between demographic changes and social care are conditioned by changes in the larger policy context as well.
