The labour market for healthcare and social care

The health and social care sector provides vital services and is hugely important to society. But the challenges in this sector are considerable. How are working conditions and employment types in the care sector evolving? What impact is internationalisation having on the labour market in the care sector? And how can we ensure the provision of high-quality healthcare and social care in the future, especially given a labour shortage that is likely to worsen as a result of demographic change?

We have compiled a list of IAB publications and projects on this page that shines a light on employment trends, skills requirements and working conditions in the health and social care sector.
