Calls grow for a direct care worker visa for the US
Original: A direct care worker visa policy to support the aging US population
Brookings is proposing a dedicated visa policy for direct care workers to help the United States meet the staffing needs of its rapidly aging population. The proposal argues that immigration policy should be aligned with long-term care demand, as the sector faces persistent worker shortages and rising numbers of older adults needing assistance.
Why now: The US faces growing long-term care worker shortages as its population ages, making immigration-based solutions a timely policy debate.
