graduates of nursing majors have received much attention in recent years. behind this is the growing demand for high-quality and professional talents in the nursing industry. in 2023, the number of people aged 60 and above in china will be close to 300 million, and my country has officially entered a "moderately aging" society. relevant research shows that my country's demand for nursing care workers is more than 6 million, but there are only more than 500,000 practitioners at present. this means that the nursing industry is facing a huge talent gap.
the ministry of education and seven other departments jointly issued a document to encourage and guide ordinary undergraduate colleges to set up elderly care-related majors such as home economics and geriatrics, and promote the cultivation of related majors such as elderly care services and management. in 2019, shandong women's college and shanghai university of engineering science became the first undergraduate colleges in the country to set up elderly care-related majors and recruit students that year, cultivating a group of dynamic professional talents for the elderly care industry.
nowadays, graduates of nursing care majors are in great demand. this is not only a positive feedback on the results of higher education reform, but also a recognition of the development prospects of the nursing care industry.
