"The LTC labour market contains mostly workers with a medium educational level, although the increasingly complex skills required in the sector point to the need to improve initial and continuing training and qualifications. Labour shortages are a major challenge in all Member States, and labour shortages in this sector are among the most acute in the EU labour market as a whole. Wages and other indicators of job quality are low when compared to healthcare and the average situation of workers in the whole economy."
