Abstract

I examined which workplaces, hospitals or clinics, female physicians are likely to select compared to male physicians. Employing panel data models with the age-stratified prefecture-based data of Survey of Physicians, Dentists and Pharmacists for 1998, 2000, 2002, and 2004, I find first that female physicians under fifty years are more likely to move from hospitals to clinics than male and second that there are little cases of move from clinics to hospitals both for male and female physicians. It is alleged that managers of hospitals feel shortage of physicians and that the reason is well-experienced physicians tend to fly away to clinics because of hard work and insufficient reward to the job. The results of this paper suggest that increasing number of female physicians in recent years also contributes to the shortage.
