The table compares the proportion of local

government

spending on health care in five countries and the percentage of their workforce aged 24 to 30 in the medical service in 2006.

It is clear that

of all five countries, the Italian

government

spent the largest

share

of money on health care,

while

the Polish

government

invested the smallest

share

.

However

, more than half of the 24-30-year-olds from Poland worked in health-related fields, ranking first. In terms of

government

spending, the Italian

government

spent the largest

share

of money on healthcare, with a figure of 27%,

whereas

Poland's

share

was only 5%. The numbers for Finland, Iceland and Spain were relatively close, at 9%, 11% and 13% respectively. Looking at the young workforce in

this

area, a stark contrast could be seen in Poland. 54% of 24-30-year-olds work in medical service, even though

government

spending was relatively minimal. Italy, in second place,

also

had 40% of young people working in

this

section. Finland, Iceland and Spain had between a quarter and a third of youth working in

this

area as well.
