As the aging population increases, the demand for long-term care (LTC) is also expected to increase substantially. The patients in need of LTC are also expected to become more racially diverse over time. As patients tend to prefer care providers who share their cultural and racial background, it will be increasingly important to understand the racial diversity of LTC workforce.
This report describes an analysis of the 2015 demographic data on the current LTC workforce as well as the 2015 demographic data on graduates of LTC educational programs to better understand which racial and ethnic groups were over and underrepresented as well as how those statistics relate to factors like educational attainment and care setting.
