Closing the healthcare workforce shortage could add up to 189 million years to life and $1.1 trillion to the global GDP in 2030.

A set of four tree map charts illustrates the global population and healthcare workforce shortage projections, as well as the health and economic impact of closing the shortage. The top-left chart shows the global population distribution in 2030, with Africa accounting for 26%, Southeast Asia for 23%, Americas for 13%, Eastern Mediterranean for 10%, Western Pacific for 11% (though not directly labeled, it can be inferred from the total), and Europe for 11%, totaling 8.5 billion people. The top-right chart displays the healthcare worker shortage, with Southeast Asia facing 52% of the shortage, Eastern Mediterranean at 20%, Western Pacific at 19%, Africa at 4%, Americas at 4%, and Europe at 1%, totaling 10.2 million people. The bottom-left chart highlights the global disease burden reduction upon closing the shortage, with 74% attributed to Southeast Asia, 12% to Western Pacific, 12% to Africa, and 0.2% to Europe, resulting in a total burden reduction of 189 million DALYs. The bottom-right chart shows the GDP added, with Western Pacific contributing 36%, Southeast Asia at 19%, Africa at 11%, Americas at 19%, and Europe at 4%, totaling $1.1 trillion.
