The Federal Statistical Office's forecast for Germany up to 2049 shows a threatening shortage of nursing staff - up to 690,000 could be missing.
The impending nursing crisis
A growing need for nurses due to the ageing population and falling birth rates will pose an enormous challenge for Germany.
The role of foreign nursing staff
Foreign nurses bring professional expertise and cultural diversity to German care facilities and help to better understand and meet the needs of those in need of care.
The role of GoodCare
Recruitment agencies play a crucial role in filling the nursing shortage in Germany. According to the federal government, they are responsible for 90% of the nurses recruited from abroad and support nursing facilities and nurses in the recruitment process.
Conclusion: A common challenge
The looming nursing shortage requires a coordinated effort from government, health institutions, nurses and recruitment agencies. By leveraging the expertise and diversity of foreign nurses, we can create a livable future for those in need of care and for nurses.
