The global nursing workforce is growing. Yet a shortage of 5.8 million nurses, unequal distribution and workforce instability continue to constrain clinical capacity.

Based on WHO’s latest nursing workforce data, Clinical Continuity Under Pressure is an analysis healthcare leaders can use to move beyond vacancy and headcount measures toward a broader view of clinical capacity.

• workforce supply and distribution: Track where nursing capacity, skills and experience do not match demand
• workforce stability: Examine why retention, career development and succession planning affect nursing capacity
• working conditions: Understand why workforce support and work-life balance matter for sustainable careers
