The city of Innsbruck is looking for young nurses in Vietnam: The first delegation trip was a complete success, according to City Councillor for Education Elisabeth Mayr from the SPÖ. There are several specific reasons why the Far East was visited. The "Krone" knows the details.

The reason for this lies in an age pyramid that looks exactly the opposite of the one in Europe.
