In 2023, the number of Health Care Assistants per hundred thousand persons in Europe revealed a varied landscape. Malta led with 335.57 units, closely followed by France at 330.96. Romania and Lithuania showed moderate numbers at 256.06 and 243.28, respectively. Meanwhile, countries like Germany and Belgium had significantly lower figures at 70.17 and 43.53. Year-on-year, noticeable positive variations were seen in Slovakia (3.79%), Denmark (3.69%), and Germany (4.81%). In contrast, Belgium and Austria experienced declines of -4.49% and -3.31%, respectively, with the highest annual average decline rate over the last five years noted in Austria.
Future trends to watch for include potential increases in countries currently experiencing growth such as Germany, Slovakia, and Ireland, driven by aging populations and greater healthcare demands. Conversely, countries with declining numbers like Austria and Belgium may face challenges in staffing and healthcare provision if the current trends persist without strategic interventions.
