Abstract

Life expectancy is increasing in most part of the world and this factor varies significantly within the countries at the regional level. Poor and remote regions are not only experiencing a rapid aging but also confronted with health professional shortages and very high turnover rates. This paper provides a concise overview of regional characteristics and net flow of health professionals in the Netherlands. Our primary results show that richer regions are gaining healthcare professionals, while smaller regions are not only losing healthcare professionals, but they are also aging faster. Regions like Zuid Holland, Gelderland, and Noord Holland are the net receiver of healthcare professionals, while Zeeland and Flevoland regions are the net contributors.
