| Annotation | Forthcoming demographic changes, when people will live longer and the population aged over 80 will increase, will bring about staff shortages in long-term care. Against this imminent shortage, policymakers in Switzerland have proposed measures in four main areas: staff recruitment, education, staff retention and staff deployment. Yet policymakers will need to consider all possible effective means to tackle this challenge. In certain European countries, such means include state-run civilian and volunteer services, which can ease the pressure on health care staff and thus increase the quality of nursing and long-term care.
