Population ageing is exerting a direct efect on all EU countries. Population structures are changing signifcantly,
and the demands placed on individual social systems are increasing. In expert discussions, continuous attention
is being devoted to issues surrounding long‑term pension‑system sustainability and, in recent years, attention
has also focused on social services and health‑care issues. Te lessons learned so far have revealed that the social
services system is not prepared for the consequences of an ageing population. Many social services providers
are already facing a shortage of social workers and in most regions waiting times for placement in residential
facilities are increasing, feld social services are not being further developed, and the support provided by carers
is insufcient. Te aim of this paper is tto attempt to quantify the expected increase in the need for skilled
workers in the social services sector so that these services will continue to be provided at a high‑quality level.
