1.4.2.5 Inactivity in the curative sector 9 to 11 years after degree as MD: analysis by
gender (CIPMP database)
The following section focuses on the inactivity in the curative sector for the unlicensed
and licensed GPs who were inactive in the curative sector 9 to 11 years after their
degree as MD if they had at least one place of curative care 4 to 6 years after their
degree as MD.
Among the GPs who qualified between 1988 and 1990 and who had at least one place
of curative care in 1994, 7.5% had left the curative sector in 1999 (i.e. no place of
curative practice registered, see table 7).
A difference in gender can be noticed: more female GPs than male GPs were inactive in
1999 if they had at least one place of curative care in 1994 (respectively 10.60% for the
women and 5% for the men).
Regarding the specialists who were active in the curative sector in 1994, 1% of them
had left the curative sector in 1999 compared to 7.5% for the GPs (table 7 below and
table 13 in appendix 1.9).
It is important to notice that few GPs and few specialists came back in the curative
sector in 1999 if they were inactive in 1994 (8 GPs and 10 specialists) (table 7 below
and table 13 in appendix 1.9). These numbers are small, compared to those physicians
who left the curative sector in 1999 if they were active in the curative sector in 1994
(60 GPs and 12 specialists). This observation confirms that the losses in the curative
sector are not compensated by those who come back.
