The labour market en the demand for care

The demand for care is growing: the number of people with dementia alone is set to rise from 175,000 in 2002 to 412,000 by 2050; the number of stroke patients is forecast to increase from 118,000 in 2000 to 152,000 by 2020.

However, the growth in the number of professional people able to provide the necessary care lags far behind.
