Abstract
The Australian Government has committed to addressing the recommendations on workforce made by the 2021 Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety. Implementation requires a sound information base but examination of the 2020 Aged Care Workforce Census finds it inadequate for these purposes. Only half the reported 32 per cent workforce increase is substantiated on the basis of funding increases and the balance attributed to extraneous factors that inflated results. These limitations are discussed with reference to four major areas of workforce planning and policy and conclusions are drawn about margins for change associated with each of these areas.
期刊介绍：
An applied economics journal with a strong policy orientation, The Australian Economic Review publishes high-quality articles applying economic analysis to a wide range of macroeconomic and microeconomic topics relevant to both economic and social policy issues. Produced by the Melbourne Institute of Applied Economic and Social Research, it is the leading journal of its kind in Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. While it is of special interest to Australian academics, students, policy makers, and others interested in the Australian economy, the journal also considers matters of international interest.
