OECD Indicators

image of Health at a Glance 2023

Health at a Glance provides a comprehensive set of indicators on population health and health system performance across OECD members and key emerging economies. These cover health status, risk factors for health, access to and quality of healthcare, and health system resources. Analysis draws from the latest comparable official national statistics and other sources.

Alongside indicator-by-indicator analysis, an overview chapter summarises the comparative performance of countries and major trends. This edition also has a special focus on digital health, which measures the digital readiness of OECD countries’ health systems, and outlines what countries need to do accelerate the digital health transformation.

Doctors (by age, sex and category)

In 2021, one‑third of all doctors in OECD countries were over 55 years of age, up from just over one‑fifth in 2000 (Figure 8.6). The share of doctors over 55 increased between 2000 and 2021 in all countries for which data are available, although the share has stabilised in some countries, with the entry of many new young doctors into the profession in recent years, and the progressive retirement of the baby-boom generation of doctors.
