Thanks those are all great points nice one and I agree with almost all of that. Again love the focus on low skill workers
On supply and medical staff ”They argue that low incentives to work in rural areas are a much bigger problem than the total supply of physicians (and how that supply is affected by emigration).”
The funny thing is that a big part of that exact issue there may well be supply! If there were more than enough doctors to fill roles in cities, and they struggled to emigrate (doctors find this far easier than other professionals) then doctors would be pushed into working in rural places as that’s where the jobs
My example to back this up is that in Uganda there’s a massive oversupply of nurses, and it means in search of jobs many open drug shops in the village and many are willing to work in rural areas. We have no problem at all recruiting at OneDay Health. Supply is a huge factor.
