Human Resources Project 2010

Abstract

The WFOT Human Resources Project 2010 provides demographic statistics of the occupational therapy profession in 93% of WFOT Member Organisations/Countries. The data shows the diversity of the profession’s demography between countries and regions, established and newly established organisations in both low and high resource countries. Some Member Organisations/Countries are unable to collate or have limited access to the information that is requested as part of the Human Resources Project. This report respects the limitations that some Member Organisations might have in providing data; equally it reinforces the importance of maintaining national demographics as a contributing factor to the professions development and global identity.The Human Resources Project is an integral part of WFOT’s business, aligned to its strategic and operational objectives. The project has formed part of its continued collaboration with the World Health Organisation (WHO) and various government ministries and departments. WFOT supports the widespread dissemination of this information to facilitate global recognition and commissioning of the valued contribution the occupational therapy profession.
