Effectively managing this workforce is conditional on sound understanding of public sector employment and compensation practices. This includes good data on their size, characteristics, and wage levels. Cross-national data on the global health workforce, however, has been limited to date. This note aims to address this information gap by presenting stylized facts on the global health workforce drawing on the Worldwide Bureaucracy Indicators (WWBI), a global dataset on employment and pay practices in the public sector produced by the World Bank.  The dataset allows first-of-its-kind assessment of both the size, structure, and demographic characteristics of the healthcare workforce as well as the quality, equity, and competitiveness of compensation practices within the sector in a uniform, globally harmonized manner.","geographic_units":[{"name":"World","code":"WLD","type":"Region"}],"language":[{"name":"English","code":"EN"}],"data_statement":"Most of the data used in this study are publicly available and included in the reproducibility package.
