Description
The OECD (The Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development) mission is to promote policies that will improve the economic and social well-being of people around the world. OECD’s work is based on continued monitoring of events in member countries as well as outside OECD area, and includes regular projections of short and medium-term economic developments. The OECD Secretariat collects and analyses data, after which committees discuss policy regarding this information, the Council makes decisions, and then governments implement recommendations. The OECD Health Data sets offers the most comprehensive source of comparable statistics on health and health systems across OECD countries. It is an essential tool to carry out comparative analyses and draw lessons from international comparisons of diverse health systems.
Health workers are the cornerstone of health systems, playing a central role in providing health services to the population and improving health outcomes. The demand and supply of health workers have increased over time in all OECD countries, with jobs in the health and social sector accounting for more than 10% of total employment now in several OECD countries. The OECD assesses changes related to health workforce status and migration in the scope of practice of health care providers, and the impact that these changes might have on access, quality and efficiency in health service delivery. In this dataset can be found data for the following health workforce (doctors and nurses) migration indicators are contained in this dataset:
– Total number of doctors/nurses
– Domestically-trained doctors/nurses
– Stock of foreign-trained doctors/nurses
– Doctors/nurses with unknown place of training
– Percent of foreign-trained doctors/nurses
– Annual inflow of foreign-trained doctors/nurses
– Native-born but foreign-trained doctors/nurses
The total number of doctors and nurses refer to practicing physicians and nurses.
The stock of foreign-trained doctors refer to the number of doctors (at the end of the calendar year) who have obtained their first medical qualification (degree) in another country and are entitled to practice in the receiving country. According to methodology the following inclusion and exclusion criteria have been used:
– Inclusion criteria
– Foreign-trained doctors who have obtained any type of registration to practice in the receiving country
– Medical interns and residents who have obtained a medical degree in another country but have not yet obtained a (full) registration to practice in the receiving country
– Exclusion criteria
– Foreign-trained doctors who are registered to practice in the receiving country but are practicing in another country (temporarily or permanently)
The annual inflow of foreign-trained doctors refer to the number of doctors (at the end of the calendar year) who have obtained their first medical qualification (degree) in another country and are receiving a new authorization in a given year to practice in the receiving country. According to methodology the following inclusion criteria have been used:
– If the source is professional registers (preferred source): foreign-trained doctors coming in the country under all types of registration status (full, temporary, limited, provisional or conditional registration)
– If the source is working permits delivered to immigrants (possible alternative source): foreign-trained doctors coming in the country under a permanent or temporary working permit
– Medical interns and residents who have obtained a medical degree in another country but have not yet obtained a (full) registration to practice in the receiving country
The stock of foreign-trained nurses refer to the number of nurses (at the end of the calendar year) who have obtained a recognized qualification in nursing in another country and are working as a nurse in the receiving country. According to methodology the following inclusion and exclusion criteria have been used:
– Inclusion criteria
– Foreign-trained nurses who have obtained any type of registration to practice in the receiving country
– Nurses who have obtained a recognized qualification in nursing in another country but have not yet obtained a (full) registration to practice in the receiving country
– Exclusion criteria
– Foreign-trained nurses who are registered to practice in the receiving country but are practicing in another country (temporarily or permanently)
The annual inflow of foreign-trained nurses refer to the number of nurses (at the end of the calendar year) who have obtained a recognized qualification in nursing in another country and are receiving a new authorization in a given year to practice in the receiving country. According to methodology the following inclusion criteria have been used:
– If the source is professional registers (preferred source): foreign-trained nurses coming in the country under all types of registration status (full, temporary, limited, provisional or conditional registration)
– If the source is working permits delivered to immigrants (possible alternative source): foreign-trained nurses coming in the country under a permanent or temporary working permit
Breaks in the time-related continuity of data on which the calculated indicators values are based are specified in the content of dataset. There are also specified the cases were the methodology used for data collection was different or if the values are estimated.
