 Literature Review 1. Global Aged Care Workforce Challenges A substantial body of literature highlights the growing global crisis in the aged care workforce, driven by population ageing, increased care complexity, and insufficient workforce supply. Evidence from international reports and empirical studies consistently demonstrates high levels of workforce shortages, turnover, and burnout across aged care settings [3,17,19,20]. A rapid review of workforce interventions identified persistent challenges in recruitment and retention, alongside fragmented training systems and limited career pathways [3]. Recent workforce surveys further confirm that nursing shortages remain a critical constraint on aged care service delivery, with increasing demand projected over the coming decades [19,20]. These shortages are compounded by inadequate staffing models and skill mix imbalances, which negatively impact quality of care and patient outcomes. --- 2.

Addressing Workforce Training Gaps in Aged Care: Implications for Nursing Education in Resource-Limited Settings By Ms Nellie Y. Semer  Abstract Background: The aged care sector globally faces workforce shortages and increasing complexity of care needs, raising concerns about workforce preparedness and quality of care [1,3]. Methods: This paper presents a narrative review and critical analysis of existing literature and policy reports on workforce training and nursing education in aged care, with a focus on both high-income and resource-limited settings [2,6]. Results: Key gaps were identified in aged care curriculum emphasis, clinical placement quality, simulation-based training, and transition-to-practice support [7,9,12]. These gaps contribute to reduced clinical competency and workforce retention challenges [10,17]. Conclusion: Strengthening nursing education through competency-based curricula, simulation-enhanced learning, and structured transition programs is essenti...
