There were 25% of registered nurses and Doctors..Medical sector in general, back in 2015. In 2024-2025 it fell down to 6%. What happened to the remaining 19%? The 19% are jobless and we can see that the number of graduate in this area of specialization increases by numbers while the opportunities are low.

In my countries, most nurses dont earn much, their pay is slightly higher than the minimum wage which cannot give them a good life. It will take them 20 years of service if they save 50% of their salary to be able to own a home, talk more of getting a car. I'm avoiding going deep on this subject but the healthcare system dont pay much.

I think Covid is one of the reasons for the decline, as we know how deadly it is. We can as well add the economic problems such as the recession which results to lay-offing of workers. It is still nice to see that many are still aspiring to become one. Being a graduate is not enough because they still need to take and pass the exam for them to be officially qualified to be called as medical professional.

I feel sorry for the nurses in your country. With how hard and expensive it is to become one, that seems unfair but they can always apply on other countries which offers a better paying rate but this should be one of the reason on why the numbers have declined. In terms of owning a thing, they can as well get a loan to get it immediately.
