摘要：R ecent decades have witnessed a burgeoning interest in improving health and health systems in low and middle–income countries (LMIC). With the in- crease in program funding came parallel increases in the number of university programs in the US and Europe of- fering concentrations or degrees in a global health field [1–6]. The changes have been brisk and substantial [5–8], and beg the question: What do we know about the global health job market. While a few studies have provided lim- ited insights into the employment landscape, the last com- prehensive attempt to answer this question was by Baker 30 years ago [9]. Key questions (as yet largely unanswered) about the current global health job market include: How satisfactory is the numerical balance between job as- pirants and job openings. Are the trend lines of aspirants and openings similar or divergent. Are we at risk of having too many job seekers or too few.
