The term white jobs can be used to refer to those who work in the health and social services sector.
About 20 million people across the European Union are employed in such posts, a figure which will increase in the coming years as society copes with an ageing population and new developments, such as innovative treatments, impact on care provision. To meet the challenge, the EU will have to assess the need for white jobs more precisely and invest in skills.
