Elderly care is one of the most serious issues of the day. The conditions of 'care by the elderly' are so severe that there are some cases in which caregivers commit suicide or kill their care receiver. This study aims to provide evidence of the factors in caregiver fatigue and influences on the degree of depression by way of analyzing the relationship between the actual circumstances of caregivers and depression. Several measures to produce elderly care systems which are effective for caregivers are proposed in the conclusion.
