Area of Science:

Gerontology and Sociology
Global Health and Migration Studies

Background:

World population aging increases demand for direct long-term-care (DLTC) workers.
Immigrant women are increasingly filling DLTC roles in developed nations.
Global trends intersect with social justice issues in the DLTC workforce.

Purpose of the Study:

Examine the impact of population aging, globalization, and women's migration on DLTC worker supply and demand in the U.S.
Identify social justice issues affecting immigrant DLTC workers.
Discuss the effects of these trends on immigrant women, source countries, and the U.S. DLTC sector.

Main Methods:

Analysis of global demographic and migration trends.
Examination of social justice dimensions: poverty, labor feminization/colorization, and women's rights.

Discussion of policy, practice, and research implications.

Main Results:

Immigration addresses DLTC worker shortages but risks devaluing eldercare.
Source countries face trade-offs between remittances and workforce depletion.
Globalization and aging create complex, often contradictory, effects on all stakeholders.

Conclusions:

The DLTC workforce is shaped by intersecting global forces and social justice concerns.
Policy and practice must address the dual impacts on both receiving and sending nations.
Further research is needed to navigate the complexities of eldercare labor migration.
