 note = {This paper intended to describe recent trends and problems to be solved in occupational health for caregiving workers by reviewing papers and original data by the authors. As the number of elderly people is rapidly growing, the demand for care-giving services is markedly increasing in Japan. Especially, the number of home care service (HCS) workers is expected to be 560,000 in 2010, even though it was still around 178,500 in 1999. Home help service is suspected to have physically and mentally stressful tasks, such as client transfer, changing carpets, care of violent clients and management of money. There have been some studies that found increase in risks of musculoskeletal problems and traffic accidents among HCS workers, even though the number of the studies was very limited. We had not found any papers presenting the evidence of mental problems among them. In order to protect caregiver from health problems related to their work, five strategic measures listed in the following were discussed. 1. improvement of working conditions and establishment of administrative systems for occupational health, 2. improvement of caregivers' techniques, 3. utilization and exploitation of assistive devices and equipment, 4. removal of various barriers to clients from houses and public places, and 5. occupational health education for caregivers. As the final remark, we commented that recent restructuring of social welfare systems and relaxation of regulations for protecting workers would undermine care services and working conditions of caregivers, then possibly affect their health.},
