Homecare services in demand, but suitable employees lacking

Majority in industry only desire to work for short period of time: report

Companies providing homecare services, such as looking after the elderly and young children, are experiencing a shortfall in suitable applicants, according to a Beijing-based nongovernmental organization.

This is despite a rise in demand for such services, according to the Beijing Cultural Development Center for Rural Women. The center interviewed 1,360 workers in the sector as well as 210 employers and 50 companies.
