Building a Workforce to Care for an Aging Society: Challenges and Opportunities
 |
The Eldercare Workforce Alliance hosted a congressional luncheon briefing on the programmatic responses to the looming crisis of an eldercare workforce shortage, based on a newly assembled significant body of knowledge published by the American Society on Aging in their quarterly journal, Generations.
The newest issue is devoted entirely to the current state of the nation’s eldercare workforce; the eldercare workforce’s makeup, deficiencies, and strengths; and strategies for much-needed workforce retention, recruitment, training and management, policy development, and fostering of cultural competencies.
