Influence of the changing needs of the labor force
The projected growths of the US population who are older continue to increase and this
will have a great impact on the American health care system in particular with respect to demand
and supply for the workers in the healthcare sector. The supply of workers from the health care
sector may reduce as they grow old and majority of them retire or cut down their working
hours.The older population in America uses an unreasonably large share of the US health care
services, hence the demand for this services is expected to increase. The aging of population will
have a great impact on the nature of skills and services required by health care workforce must
be equipped with in order to provide better services (Henrickson, 2011).
.
Older adults will progressively be ethnically and racially diverse and the inclusive of
more Hispanics and Asians .They will be more educated ,have access to more socioeconomic
resource as well as have a great access to data. The estimated demand for medical services by
the older population is likely to be an underestimate of the true need of services, which is swayed
by their knack to pay or find health care services (Golinowska, Kocot and Sowa, 2014).
Some findings linked to the health workforce are:
➢ Majority of healthcare workers receive less training on the taking care of older adults.
➢ Average age of medical care professionals is on the increase.
➢ Likelihood in shortages of health workers to serve the older adults
