In 2024, Japan leads with the highest number of formal long-term care workers at 2.1989 million. The United States follows with 1.772 million, reflecting a slight decline. Germany shows moderate growth at 0.63066 million. South Korea, with notable growth, and other European countries like the Czech Republic and Portugal exhibit positive trends. Conversely, Denmark, Ireland, and Hungary report stagnation or declines.
Future trends to watch include Japan's aging population increasing demand for workers. South Korea's rapid growth indicates a shift towards formalized care. The decline in Western countries like the US may prompt changes in care models or immigration policies to fill workforce gaps.
