Global Formal Long-Term Care Workers by Country

The 2023 data for the percentage of female formal long-term care workers indicates Estonia leading at 96.9%, followed closely by Slovakia and the Czech Republic. Notable increases in Slovakia and Spain suggest positive trends while Denmark, Norway, and Sweden have seen declines. Over the past five years, Norway and Ireland have had the steepest declines, whereas Slovakia experienced modest growth, as reflected in their year-on-year changes. The five-year CAGR highlights varying growth across these countries, with notable resilience in the Netherlands and Spain.

Future trends to observe include potential impacts of evolving global demographic patterns and policy shifts toward aging populations, which will likely affect workforce dynamics in formal long-term care.
