Labor Gaps and Migration

You are advising a government facing labor shortages in caregiving and other essential service sectors. Design a workforce strategy that combines domestic training, wage reform, automation, credential recognition, language support, and migrant integration. Evaluate the benefits and risks of relying on foreign workers, and explain what institutions are needed to prevent exploitation while ensuring stable care for an aging population. Conclude with a policy roadmap for making immigration politically durable and socially fair.
