This infographic highlights the essential role of migrant workers in care systems, particularly in home-based and long-term care, amid rising demand for care workers and persistent labour shortages. It explains how poor working conditions, limited labour and social protections, discrimination and recruitment-related challenges disproportionately affect care workers, including migrant workers and domestic workers. The infographic also emphasizes the growing reliance on international recruitment to address care shortages and outlines key measures needed to build sustainable care systems, including decent work, fair recruitment, rights-based labour migration, social protection, skills recognition, better compensation and stronger social dialogue.
