The European Commission\u2019s Joint Research Centre (JRC) has recently published a report showing that in order to meet the demands of an ageing society, the EU\u2019s health and long-term care workforce will need to grow by 11 million workers between 2018 and 2030.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2018, there were almost two million health and long-term care workers in the EU working in a country other than their country of birth. The JRC report recommends integrating current labour migration channels with more specific considerations for health and long-term care systems, while keeping in line with the WHO Global Code of Practice<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This could foster mobility flows, with benefits for countries of origin and destination. It would also facilitate recognition of qualifications and full activation of skills of the EU\u2019s migrant workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Commission has taken a series of policy initiatives to support EU countries to address the challenges of an ageing population and the impact on the health and long-term care sectors, including the first steps towards a European Health Union<\/a>. Other Commission initiatives are the recent Green Paper on Ageing<\/a> and the European Pillar of Social Rights Action Plan which will be launched soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
