Who Cares? Attracting and Retaining Care Workers for the Elderly

Summary/Abstract: Review of the publication OECD: Who Cares? Attracting and Retaining Care Workers for the Elderly. OECD Health Policy Studies, Paris: OECD Publishing, 2020, ISBN 9789264383746 (PDF) This peer-reviewed publication focuses on one of the key areas of all long-term care systems, i.e. personnel and the people who provide and coordinate long-term care services. It analyses trends in the national policies of various OECD countries and the long-term care employee structure. The coronavirus pandemic has revealed a range of structural deficiencies in the field of long-term care, including long-term staff shortages, the low level of attractiveness of the sector, low wages and poor working conditions. The analysis provides a large amount of new and up-to-date data on the situation and developments in OECD countries. It identifies both weaknesses and opportunities with respect to strategies applied for the recruiting and retaining of staff in the long-term care system. It is intended that the publication represents both a guide and compulsory reading for all those responsible for conceptually and systematically addressing long-term care issues at the relevant management and social policy-making levels.
