As of 2023, there were 9.35 Thousand Health Care Assistants in Belgium. Over the forecasted period from 2024 to 2028, a declining trend is observed. The number of Health Care Assistants is expected to decrease year-on-year by:
- 2025: -3.2%
- 2026: -3.2%
- 2027: -3.3%
- 2028: -3.3%
Over the last two years, the workforce trend has shown a steady decline, dropping by an average of 3.2% per year. This cumulative trend suggests a pressing issue in maintaining workforce levels.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of automation and technology in health care, shifts in policy affecting hiring practices, and broader economic conditions influencing employment rates. Moreover, the aging population may create increased demand potentially offsetting workforce decreases unless addressed.
