Abstract

The care workforce is an integral component in enabling pathways to sustainable arrangements in care capable of withstanding new shocks and addressing longstanding challenges, including ‘decent work’ for care workers. This seminar will present and discuss the research of the Care Workforce Change Group, part of the ESRC Centre for Care. The Group focuses on understanding the drivers, nature and implications of care workforce change, where paid work of care connects to, and is shaped by, other elements of the care ecosystem. The questions addressed include:

- What are the main drivers for workforce change, both paced and sudden?

- How does the care workforce drive and respond to change?

- What are the current workforce innovations beneficial to the workforce?
