“Women will have to give up work to look after parents unless EU care workers are given priority after Brexit”

Department of Health warns that dire shortage of health care workers post Brexit, means more family care, means more women giving up work to care for family.

The report states: “The risks to EEA workforce supply need to be considered in the context of continued rising demand across the health and care system.

“Considering rising life expectancy, population structural changes as well as increases in the number of people living with one or more long-term conditions, there are significant demand implications for the health and social care workforce.

“Unless we ensure such demand is met, there is a wider risk to labour market participation more generally, especially when considering increasing social care needs. If we fail to meet social care needs adequately we are likely to see a decrease in labour market participation levels, especially among women, as greater numbers undertake informal care.”
