They don't care: unemployed physicians in the Nordic countries.

Recent sociological research on the medical profession has been concerned with the profession's power and autonomy. So far, little research has focused on the total loss of the market value of a large number of physicians, that is, on the increasing rate of unemployment among physicians in some European countries. The author describes the extent of physician oversupply in the Nordic countries and examines the reasons for and implications of the growing unemployment among physicians.
