Global Long-Term Care Recipients at Home by Country

The 2024 data on global long-term care recipients at home highlights notable distinctions across countries, with Germany having the highest number at 3.5029 million aged 65 and above, and Slovenia standing at 0.03156 million. Year-on-year analysis shows significant increases in South Korea (12.35%) and Israel (13.15%), while Italy experienced a decline of 1.26% from 2023. Countries like Denmark, Finland, and Lithuania observe modest growth, whereas New Zealand saw a decline of 4.56% over the past year.

Future trends worth observing include:

• An increasing demand for home care due to aging populations, especially in countries like Germany and South Korea.
• Potential policy changes or innovations in elderly care infrastructure which may impact the numbers significantly in countries with declining trends like Italy and New Zealand.
• The role of technology and healthcare policy reforms in shaping the accessibility and quality of long-term home care services globally.
