本章分析个人支援工作者的劳工市场。它把重点放在加拿大作为一个说明性的案例。文献表明，虽然从新韦伯的角度来看，将PSW劳动力市场作为一个整体是有帮助的，但最好将其视为一系列的子市场——包括医院、长期护理、家庭和社区护理部门。这些可能在工资、福利、工作时间和工作条件等因素以及在每个护理部门工作的社会福利工作者的社会人口特征方面有所不同。在某种程度上，公共福利福利特征的部门差异影响劳动力供应行为和结果——例如，造成接近退休年龄的公共福利福利工人比例的差异——公共福利福利劳动力市场的异质性是资源规划中的一个重要考虑因素。本章还探讨了PSW与其他卫生专业（如护理）的比较，并选择参考国际PSW文献，以制定前进的路线。
This chapter analyses the labour market for Personal Support Workers (PSWs). It focuses on Canada as an illustrative case. The literature suggests that, while it is helpful to consider the PSW labour market as a whole from a neo-Weberian perspective, it is better thought of as a series of sub-markets – comprising the hospital, long-term care, and home and community care sectors. These may differ in terms of such factors as wages, benefits, hours worked and working conditions, as well as in the socio-demographic characteristics of PSWs working in each care sector. To the extent that sectoral differences in PSW characteristics affect labour supply behaviours and outcomes – as, for example, in creating differences in the proportion of PSWs nearing retirement age – the heterogeneous nature of the PSW labour market is an important consideration in resource planning. The chapter also explores how PSWs compare to other health professions such as nursing, and makes select references to the international PSW literature in charting a forward course.
