Supply And Demand of Psychologists

• A large proportion of the psychology workforce is approaching retirement. Who will take their places? How many people do we need to train?
   
• How should we plan to ensure that there are enough psychologists in areas such as prevention, health promotion and rehabilitation?
   
• Will we have an adequate number of psychologists to conduct research, train future students, and develop programs?
   
• We have data about the number of students entering and graduating from psychology programs, but little about the nature of their training, and even less about their career paths after graduation.
   
• We lack information on how many psychologists are actively practicing in the jurisdiction in which they are licensed
   
• How many are publicly versus privately funded?
   
• How many are in health versus correctional versus school?
   
• How many are full-time versus part-time? etc.
