In 2023, Japan led the global formal long-term care workers at home sector with 1.3123 million full-time equivalent workers, showing a 2.6% growth from the previous year. The United States followed with 0.62724 million workers, experiencing a slight decline of 0.42%. Germany marked a robust increase of 3.31%, while South Korea saw remarkable growth at 15.22%. Switzerland registered a modest growth of 4.31%, contrasting with Estonia's decline of 3.85%. Ireland and Luxembourg both showed positive changes at 1.2% and 4.57% respectively, while Portugal experienced a growth of 5.43%.

Countries with negative or low growth rates, such as the United States and Estonia, may need strategic interventions to address workforce challenges.
