Abstract

Entrepreneurs always look for business opportunities. Long-term care is a serious problem in many countries and exhausts various resources. Hence, though the governments of these countries resort to solve the problem, it remain an impact to their government finance. Meanwhile, the sharing economy is popular for resource sharing. The sharing can greatly reduce costs. Hence, this study proposes a conceptual framework to apply the sharing economy to lower the costs and to increase the efficiency of the long-term care. The proposed framework sheds some light to the opportunities for entrepreneurs.
