In 2023, the United States led with the highest self-employed individuals in residential care and social work activities at 342,000, despite a 3.56% decrease. The United Kingdom and Netherlands followed with over 199,000 and 145,000, respectively, both seeing minor increases. Germany, Canada, and South Korea had moderate figures with negligible growth or decline. Meanwhile, countries like Finland saw a slight decline, while others such as Italy and Belgium had stable numbers.
Future trends may include increased self-employment in social care due to aging populations and policy changes enhancing independent work benefits. The impact of technology in care delivery could further influence these figures globally.
