Germany is facing an alarming shortage of qualified nurses in the health and geriatric care sector. Experts estimate that, due to demographic change, the number of people requiring care in Germany will increase from the current level of about 2.3 million to approximately 3.4 million in 2030. The Federal Employment Agency (BA) have already observed a severe shortage of fully qualified (geriatric) nurses and are warning of an impending acute shortage of nursing staff. This shortage cannot be covered in the medium or long term by nurses in Germany itself. At the same time, many young people from abroad are keen to take up training and a subsequent period of work spent in Germany. Vietnam has a very young population yet falls far short of employing its entire potential workforce in its labor market.

摘要

Germany is facing an alarming shortage of qualified nurses in the health and geriatric care sector. Experts estimate that, due to demographic change, the number of people requiring care in Germany will increase from the current level of about 2.3 million to approximately 3.4 million in 2030. The Federal Employment Agency (BA) have already observed a severe shortage of fully qualified (geriatric) nurses and are warning of an impending acute shortage of nursing staff. This shortage cannot be covered in the medium or long term by nurses in Germany itself. At the same time, many young people from abroad are keen to take up training and a subsequent period of work spent in Germany. Vietnam has a very young population yet falls far short of employing its entire potential workforce in its labor market.
