👋🏽 Happy Monday!
👩🏼⚕️ A new State of the World’s Nursing 2025 report has been published today, on International Nurses Day.
It provides a comprehensive analysis of the nursing workforce.
Here are some key takeaways:
📈 The global nursing workforce has grown from 27.9 million in 2018 to 29.8 million in 2023.
🌍 Wide disparities in the availability of nurses remain across regions and countries.
📍 Approximately 78% of the world’s nurses are concentrated in countries representing just 49% of the global population.
🎓 Low- and middle-income countries are facing challenges in graduating, employing and retaining nurses.
👴🏾 In parallel, high-income countries need to be prepared to manage high levels of retiring nurses and review their reliance on foreign-trained nurses.
🤵🏾♀️ Women continue to dominate the profession, making up 85% of the global nursing workforce.
