Based on the provided data, the number of Health Care Assistants in Austria is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 through 2028. The values for these years show a slight but consistent decrease, suggesting a trend of diminishing health care professionals per hundred thousand persons. As of 2023, actual figures indicate a number that is evidently higher than those forecasted for the subsequent years.
Year-on-year percentage changes reveal a subtle downward trend over the last two years, reflecting a nuanced but clear reduction in volume. Over the last five years, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) also corroborates this slow decline, averaging a minor decrease per year.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Potential impacts of healthcare policy reforms aimed at addressing the declining numbers.
- Effects of demographic shifts, such as aging populations, which may exacerbate or mitigate the trend.
- Technological advancements in healthcare that might influence the demand for human health care assistants.
- Training and education initiatives to replenish the health care assistant workforce.
