Health at a Glance 2021
OECD Indicators
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 health care, and health 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 the health impact of COVID-19 in OECD countries, including deaths and illness caused by the virus, adverse effects on access and quality of care, and the growing burden of mental ill-health.

Nursing graduates
The number of new nursing graduates is a key indicator to assess the number of new entrants to the nursing profession who might be available to replace those nurses who will be retiring and respond to any current or future shortages of nurses. The number of nursing graduates in any given year reflect decisions that were made a few years earlier (about three years) related to student admissions, either through explicit numerus clausus policies (the setting of quotas on student admissions) or through other decision-making processes, although graduation rates are also affected by student dropout rates.
