由于预期寿命增加和生育率下降的趋势，发达国家的人口正在老龄化。预计这些趋势将增加对长期护理服务的需求。与此同时，在大多数发达国家，长期护理人员短缺。此外，由于同时存在的社会人口因素，预计这种短缺还会增加。对长期护理的需求增加，加上护理人员供应短缺，促使决策者给予一定的关注。本文件提供了一个国际审查的制度安排，长期护理在不同的发达国家，特别是探讨了不同的战略使用或建议，以解决长期护理劳动力短缺。
The developed world's population is aging, due to trends of increased life expectancies and decreased fertility rates. These trends are predicted to increase demand on long-term care services. At the same time, the long-term care workforce is in shortage in most of the developed world. Moreover, such shortages are expected to increase due to parallel socio-demographic factors. The increase in demand for longterm care, coupled with shortage in supply of care workers, has promoted some attention from policymakers. The current paper provides an international review of institutional arrangements for long-term care in different developed countries and in particular explores different strategies used or proposed to resolve the shortage in the long-term care workforce.
