salaries differs according to <strong>the</strong> workplace and <strong>the</strong> specialty of medical doctors. Figure 8<br />

(in <strong>the</strong> appendix) shows that for medical doctors practicing in private, 48% rate <strong>the</strong>ir<br />

salaries as good, 29% as poor, and 23% as very good. For medical doctors practicing in<br />

<strong>the</strong> public sector, 76% rate <strong>the</strong>ir salaries as poor, and 24 % rate it as good. Hence, one<br />

might conclude that medical professionals working in <strong>the</strong> public sector are less satisfied<br />

with <strong>the</strong>ir salaries than those working in <strong>the</strong> private sector. The data suggest also that <strong>the</strong><br />

current salary rating differs according to <strong>the</strong> specialty of <strong>the</strong> medical professional. Figure<br />

9 (in <strong>the</strong> appendix) indicates that for specialists, 66% rate <strong>the</strong>ir salaries as poor, 22% rate<br />

it as good, and 6% as very good (<strong>the</strong> remaining 6% did answer to <strong>the</strong> questions). For<br />

general practitioners, 56% rate it as poor, 33% rate it as good, and 2% as very good (<strong>the</strong><br />

remaining 9% did not respond to <strong>the</strong> question). The results shown in figure 9 suggest that<br />

<strong>the</strong> specialty of <strong>the</strong> doctor is not significantly related to <strong>the</strong> rating of salaries.<br />

4. Workplace and intention to migrate<br />

In <strong>the</strong> previous section, it was suggested that medical doctors practicing in public<br />

hospitals are less satisfied with <strong>the</strong>ir salaries than those working in <strong>the</strong> private sector.<br />

Based on this finding, one might assume that medical professionals working in <strong>the</strong> public<br />

sector might have higher intention to migrate than those working in private clinics. In<br />

order to test <strong>the</strong> relationship between workplace (private or public sector) and intention to<br />

migrate (yes or no), a Chi-square test is performed with <strong>the</strong> two categorical variables<br />

workplace (public or private) and intention to migrate (yes or no).<br />
