From the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), March 2009, this paper serves as a background document to commmittee work on the performance of long-term care systems, in particular to the issue of the LTC workforce and reviews country responses to a growing demand for LTC workers.
It is also one in a series of studies undertaken by OECD as part of a project on Health Workforce and International Migration.
Several policy solutions are being considered to manage a growing demand for LTC workers. These are examined in the report and include increasing the workforce by recruiting LTC workers from underrepresented or inactive populations or immigration; or investing in policies to make better use of available labour capacity. Another set of policy solutions relates to reducing the need for LTC workers by improving the productivity of LTC jobs.
