This dataset provides data on the remuneration of health professionals by category (ie. general practitioners, specialists, and hospital nurses) and by status (ie. salaried and self-employed). General practice includes fully-qualified general practitioners (GPs). Physicians in training should normally be excluded. Specialists include fully-qualified physicians who have specialised and work primarily in areas other than general practice. Physicians in training should normally be excluded. Salaried hospital nurses include registered nurses actively practising in public and private hospitals and who receive most of their income via a salary. Salaried: Employees and who receive most of their income via a salary. Self-employed: Physicians who are primarily non-salaried. That is, they are either self-employed, or operate independently, usually receiving (mainly) either capitation or fee-for-service reimbursement. For physicians who are both salaried and operate in a self-employed or independent capacity, they are presented in the category under which they receive the majority of their compensation. Remuneration is defined as the average gross annual income, including social security contributions and income taxes payable by the employee. NOTE: Average salaries for healthcare professionals are now converted to USD PPPs using PPPs for private consumption to bring them in line with average earnings calculations across the OECD.
