Eldercare: An Issue of Supply and Demand

Today the gap between the number of available caregivers and the world’s aging
population continues to widen. The percentage of people aged 65 or older is expected to
rise to roughly 26% in the US by 2050 (Pew Research). By 2025, US providers will face a
collective shortage of about 500,000 home health aides, 100,000 nursing assistants, and
29,000 nurse practitioners (Mercer). Countries outside the US are facing comparable or
greater divides. As a result, the market is ready for technological disruption.
