Book Description

The Guide for Rehabilitation Workforce Evaluation (GROWE) comprises a suite of resources that can be applied in countries to provide information to support planning and advocacy at the national or subnational level. GROWE applies a labour market and competency analysis approach to help stakeholders in countries not only capture the state of the rehabilitation workforce, but to understand the problems and opportunities that the system and workers are facing. GROWE requires an investment of time and resources that may not be warranted in every country, depending on the maturity and coverage of the rehabilitation workforce. GROWE may have application in countries which are looking to strengthen an emerging professional multidisciplinary rehabilitation workforce, and where there are some paid rehabilitation jobs in the health system. It is unlikely to be applicable in countries where there are no or very few (such as only one or two) professional rehabilitation occupations in the country and services are staffed by international workers, and where there is no investment in rehabilitation jobs.
