    Content: Decision makers face serious challenges in attracting health workers to rural areas, in both the developed and developing world, but while they have access to a wide range of policy options, the effectiveness of interventions is highly contingent on context. To make them more effective, decision makers need to have an in-depth understanding of, especially, the factors that influence individual workers decisions on choice of practice, particularly regarding relocation to rural areas. The current paper presents results of an empirical study conducted in Liberia and Vietnam using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). The study's aim was to predict the likelihood of health workers taking up a rural area job under alternative incentive schemes. This study is the first DCE analysis to then go the extra step of costing out the alternative packages. The analysis revealed quite different results for the two countries. The most powerful single incentive in motivating workers to practice in rural areas was increased pay in Liberia, and long-term education in Vietnam. The cost-effectiveness of incentives also varies by country. In Liberia, monetary incentives were by the most cost effective while in Vietnam it was opportunities for skills development. While the study methodology needs further enhancement, especially costing of incentive packages, the work shows that a DCE analysis can be a powerful tool in informing the design of rural area incentive schemes in developing countries

    Content: Vanuatu is a traditionally male dominated and largely patriarchal society. Women have extremely low representation in parliament and in other decision making bodies. Despite this, women are increasingly involved in private sector development and in the market economy. Available statistics suggest that women own nearly 30 percent of all businesses and approximately 20 percent of small and medium-sized enterprises. Yet, government support for women's economic empowerment and women in business has been limited, and reforms are needed to the general legal framework to ensure gender equality.This v

    Health Worker Attitudes toward Rural Service in India : Results from Qualitative Research (2013)

    Series Statement: Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) discussion paper
    Content: The paucity of qualified health workers in rural areas is a critical challenge for India's health sector. Although state governments have instituted several mechanisms, salary and non-salary, to attract health workers to rural areas, individually these mechanisms typically focus on single issues (e.g. salary). This qualitative study explores the career preferences of under-training and in-service doctors and nurses and identifies factors important to them to take up rural service. It then develops a framework for clustering these complex attributes into potential ?incentive packages for better rural recruitment and retention. The study was carried out in two geographically diverse Indian states, Uttarakhand and Andhra Pradesh. A total of 80 in-depth interviews were conducted with a variety of participants: medical students (undergraduate, postgraduate, and Indian system of medicine), nursing students, and doctors and nurses in primary health centers. The information collected was clustered by constructing several hierarchical displays, and collated into job-attribute matrixes. The findings indicate that, while financial and educational incentives attract doctors and nurses to rural postings, they do not make effective retention strategies. Frustration among rural health workers often stems from the lack of infrastructure, support staff, and drugs, a feeling exasperated by local political interference and lack of security.

    Series Statement: Health, Nutrition and Population (HNP) discussion paper
    Content: In this report the authors apply a very simple analytic method to measure workforce productivity in the health sector at the district level in Ghana. The authors then describe how the productivity analysis can be potentially used to inform staffing decisions. Specifically, in this paper the authors: (i) develop an aggregate measure of workforce productivity that can be monitored regularly at the district level in Ghana and could be applied in other data constrained settings (ii) explore factors that are correlated with workforce productivity at the district level (iii) examine trends in workforce productivity over time; and (iv) provide recommendations on further work, particularly on improvements in data collection.
