Abstract
This report provides a comprehensive
diagnostic of the labor market for health workers in
Guinea-Bissau. It provides the evidence base for a new
strategic plan for health workforce development. The report
analyzes three dimensions: (i) workers’ demographics,
motivations, aspirations and satisfaction; (ii) hours worked
and its distribution across different activities; and (iii)
compensation, household income and consumption. Beyond this,
it also calculates wage and labor supply equations. The
analysis accounts for both, health professionals (doctors,
nurses, midwifes, technicians) and community health workers,
who are treated as volunteers in the Bissau-Guinean health system.
