Resumen
Descripción
This note describes the career
preferences of graduating medical and nursing students in
Uttar Pradesh, with special reference to incentives offered
for and work attributes of employment opportunities in rural
areas. Results indicate that medical students prefer to
concentrate on their post-graduate education and are not
inclined to work in rural areas while nursing students have
a greater predilection to work in public rural settings. The
note draws attention to the fact that it is a tougher
challenge to increase the supply of physicians in rural
areas as compared to nurses and incentives offered to
prospective health workers will be more effective ill the
form of incentive packages.
