Format
The health workforce forms the backbone of health care systems around the world. The decisions they make have major impacts on costs and health outcomes. The focus of this 2 day conference will be on micro-econometric studies of health workforce supply and demand. Among the topics we wish to explore are: pay and wage setting; competition in health labour markets; human capital formation; occupation and specialty choice; career transitions; gender differences; geographic distribution of health professionals; international migration; and the evaluation of policy interventions directed at health professionals' labour markets.
The conference will take the form of presentations of full papers with time for discussion. There will be no parallel sessions.
This conference immediately precedes the iHEA 11th World Congress in Health Economics in Milan. However it is not affiliated to iHEA.
