Gender

The mean global female pharmacist registered workforce in this sample comprises 54.7%, which is less than the graduate supply mean of 60.5%. In some regions, the supply side female undergraduate proportion has an even greater difference, indicating that the proportion of the registered female workforce will continue to increase, and in some regions (for example Eastern Mediterranean and Western Pacific) this increase will be marked. Figure 3.6 shows the proportional differences between current female registered workforce and supply side female undergraduates.
