As such, Thailand is now experiencing a declining birthrate and becoming an aging society without having had sufficient time to accumulate wealth and build up a welfare state. Therefore, the Thai government relies on the principle of complementarity for family care, and family caregivers assume all responsibility for primary elder care.<\/p>\n<p> This study is a qualitative investigation of the feelings, burdens, and experiences of primary caregivers in northeast Thailand. We will also uncover commonalities and peculiarities between Japan and Thailand in order to contribute to the formation of\u3000support policies that may be applied to both countries.<\/p>\n<h5 class=\"base_h5\">Description<\/h5>\n<p>In Japan, where care insurance schemes are limited and the burden on\u3000family caregivers is becoming more serious, increasing attention is paid to\u3000how to utilize informal care as a substitute or supplement to formal care.\u3000Therefore, this study focuses on the northeastern part of Thailand, where\u3000community members help each other as a form of mutual informal care. We will observe the relationship between informal actors and care recipients to identify the challenges that caregivers face.<\/p>\n<p>The study aims to gather knowledge that can contribute to constructing\u3000a support policy for family caregivers in Japan. Specifically, the study will: 1) map the roles of various care actors and clarify the various aspects of elder care relationships using a qualitative survey, 2) clarify the feelings\u3000and burdens that family caregivers experience, 3) investigate the commonalities and peculiarities between Japan and Thailand based on the\u3000actual conditions and changes experienced by caregivers of the elderly, and 4) develop detailed recommendations for effective support policies for both countries.  <\/p>\n<p>The significance of this study is to examine the previously understudied expansion and dynamics of informal care dynamics. We will share research\u3000findings with individual care actors and Community Health Centers, providing specific advice for support measures. In addition, we will\u3000produce at least one academic paper related to this study and make one\u3000presentation at an academic conference in order to share findings more\u3000broadly. From the knowledge obtained, we will provide recommendations for caregiver support policies in both Thailand and Japan. Despite the challenges that the Covid-19 pandemic present, we will continue to share the knowledge and results gained from the study by holding online workshops.<\/p>\n<table class=\"table-caption\">\n<tr>\n<td><a href=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fy2021iv-6-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www-archive.cseas.kyoto-u.ac.jp\/ipcr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/fy2021iv-6-1.jpg\"\/><\/a><br \/>\nThis photo was taken when a survey on elderly people in Thailand in August 2019 in Nakhon Pathom Province.
