Abstract
This paper clarifies the determinants of early turnover rate in care workers and verifies the effect of The subsidy for improvement of the benefits of the care staff (SIBCS) which was introduced in October 2009. Since the elderly has been ever-increasing while care workers is a chronic shortage, the biggest problem over the care workers is a shortage of human resources due to high early turnover rate. Given the rise of future care labor demand, it is a pressing issue to elucidate the determinants of early turnover rate and to clarify whether the past policy intervention had the effects on early turnover rate. By analyzing a large-scale survey of care workers in Japan, we found the following three points. First, the determinants of early turnover rate are different between the regular and non-regular workers. Second, the determinants of early turnover rate and turnover rate are different both for regular and non-regular workers. Third, the effect of SIBCS on early turnover rate is limited.
