Abstract
This report, written at the request of the Technical and Vocational Training Corporation (TVTC) in Saudi Arabia, explores the importance of addressing care challenges in Saudi Arabia. The report examines the size and composition of the care workforce, identifies the population of care recipients, and estimates labor shortages across care occupations. The report benchmarks Saudi Arabia with other comparator countries, mostly Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, and reviews international experiences in training the care workforce, particularly through TVET. Finally, recommendations are provided to address current and projected care challenges in Saudi Arabia and to serve as a roadmap for strengthening the care sector, with a focus on the role of TVTC in professionalizing the care workforce.
