Analyzing economic feasibility for investing in nursing care: Evidence from panel data analysis in 35 OECD countries
ConclusionOur findings verify that although the dependency of nursing characteristics to GDP per capita is higher than the reliance of GDP to number of nurses’ density per 1000 population, investing in nursing care is economically feasible in OECD countries i.e. nursing is not only a financial burden (or cost) on health care systems, but also an economic stimulus in OECD countries. Hence, we alert governments and policy makers about the risk of underestimating the economic impacts of nurses on economic systems of OECD countries.
