Due to low social recognition, low remuneration and limited space for career development, the elderly service industry is still plagued by problems such as the inability to recruit and retain personnel. Experts suggest that clear job responsibilities, clear career paths and reasonable remuneration systems should be used to attract and retain talents.
It is estimated that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, the total number of elderly people aged 60 and above will exceed 300 million, accounting for more than 20% of the total population, and enter the stage of moderate aging. According to statistics, China's demand for elderly caregivers amounted to 6 million, but there are currently only 500,000 related practitioners, especially long-term care service personnel with medical and nursing skills are in short supply.
Experts suggest strengthening the construction of elderly health care teams, increasing the number of medical caregivers engaged in elderly care work, carrying out vocational skills training and employment guidance services, and training a number of geriatric-oriented medical caregivers to enrich the elderly health, especially long-term care service teams. It is also improving the evaluation system for professionals involved in geriatric health care, and perfecting the system of remuneration and distribution oriented towards incentivizing the value of technical skills.
