| description |
The Ministry of Health, Ghana, is
engaged in developing new Human Resources for Health (HRH)
Strategy (2001-15); one that tries to draw on some of the
evidence pertaining to the dynamics of the health labor
market. This study is one of several efforts by the World
Bank to support the Ministry of Health in its endeavor to
develop a new evidence based HRH strategy. Using qualitative
research (focus group discussions), this study carries out a
microeconomic labor analysis of health worker career choice
and of job behavior. The study shows how common problems
related to distribution or performance of HRH are driven by
the behavior of health workers themselves and are determined
largely by select monetary and nonmonetary compensation.
Such findings generate insights that provide a starting
point for further analysis and a basis for the development
of effective human resources for health policies. |
