Abstract

Globally, in advanced economies, there has been an increase in “superdiversity” which is associated with person’s immigration status and associated rights and entitlements. There is a relative paucity of the literature on the internal impacts of globalisation on core welfare services such as education and health. On review, you can clearly see the internal impacts of globalisation and superdiversity within a central component of the welfare state such as the health system. This chapter explores these impacts by reflecting on the global workforce within the Irish health system workforce via the lens of a global care chain framework. The chapter argues for new thinking to retain health workers and notes that the lessons being learned slowly in Ireland can assist other international health workforce planners.
