| Abstract | Shortages of GPs in rural areas constitute a profound health policy issue worldwide. The evidence for the effectiveness of various incentives schemes, which can be specifically implemented to boost recruitment to rural general practice, is generally considered to be poor. This paper investigates young doctors' preferences for key job attributes in general practice (GP), particularly concerning location and income, using a discrete choice experiment (DCE). The subjects were all final year medical students and interns in Norway (N = 1562), of which 831 (53%) agreed to participate in the DCE. Data was collected in November-December 2010. Policy simulations were conducted to assess the potential impact of various initiatives that can be used to attract young doctors to rural areas. Most interestingly, the simulations highlight the need to consider joint policy programs containing several incentives if the policies are to have a sufficient impact on the motivation and likelihood to work in rural areas. Furthermore, we find that increased income seem to have less impact as compared to improvements in the non-pecuniary attributes. Our results should be of interest to policy makers in countries with publicly financed GP systems that may struggle with the recruitment of GPs in rural areas. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
