Description
Book Synopsis
With 12 percent of the global population, Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for half of child deaths, more than 60 percent of maternal deaths, 85 percent of malaria cases and close to 67 percent of people living with HIV. Yet it has the lowest number of health workers in the world, significantly less than South Asia at comparable levels of economic development. This book uses the analytical tools of labor markets to examine the human resource crisis in health from an economic perspective. Africa's labor markets are complex, with resources coming from governments, donors, the private sector, and households. Low supply and poor understanding of labor market dynamics are major impediments to improving health service delivery.Dimensions (Overall): 9.0 Inches (H) x 6.0 Inches (W) x .79 Inches (D)
