America's aging population is generating an increasing demand for care of the elderly, and foreign-born workers play an important role. This policy briefing presents the findings of research focused on the United States as part of an international inquiry. It assesses the benefits and challenges of the foreign-born workforce, as well as recommends ways of improving care of the elderly.
