Sommario/riassunto

Discovering the real world presents unique evidence on health workers' career choices in Ethiopia. It shows that challenges like health workers' limited willingness to work in a rural area, as well as their likelihood to migrate abroad vary substantially and are correlated with rural background, motivation, and job satisfaction.
