The policies that govern the eldercare sector and the migration patterns that affect the individual country labour markets vary significantly. Each country has unique policies for the recruitment, admission and retention of foreign-born workers and each has developed policies based on current and historical patterns. While the UK, Canada and the United States each has a long history as a host country, Ireland has more recently been affected by an influx of migrant workers. This section explores some of the policies that have a direct influence on eldercare employment and the migration patterns that result from or perhaps influence the development of policies for the sector.
