| Abstract | South Korea has been ranked as one of the most prosperous countries in the world. However, the success still has a downside. Korean society has faced a problem about a change of population toward ageing society, which has been caused primarily by a long-term decline in fertility and mortality. Moreover, it is projected that the proportion of elderly will rise up to 40.1 percent by 2060. Therefore, caring for the elderly has inevitably become a major challenge in Korean society. This research aims to study examine the future trend of elderly care in South Korea, in particular institutional long-term care services. The qualitative approach was used to examine and analyze data, which focusing on secondary sources. The results of this research indicated that even though governments have been promoted and supported family-based care, the institutional care continues to play an important role as a shelter for elderly in the future, in particularly, for frail and disabled elderly. However, the integration of elderly care and the cooperation between all stakeholders are needed in the future. |
