Up to 72 old age pensioners are currently temping in nursing positions or working as midwives. There’s a shortage of General Practitioner secretaries as well, and pensioners can be found doing administration work too.
“From our professional point of view it’s more cost effective to recruit a healthy happy pensioner who knows everything and has thirty years experience, than to recruit someone externally who needs trinaing,” said Ulla-Maj Rydén at the primary care unit in Gothenburg.
