Abstract

The application of the precarious employment criteria [Toshchenko 2020, p. 90] to the group of mid-level medical personnel is very limited. The number of employees with an unguaranteed social and legal status is rather small in that group as mid-level medical workers stay at their jobs for a long time. However, in terms of the economic dimension, the precarity features, e. g., active secondary employment, high debt load, and low self-evaluation of social and financial status, can still be found in the group of mid-level medical personnel. All those difficulties, along with the negative effects of the pandemic, have aggravated the already challenging staffing situation in the labor market for mid-level medical personnel, while within one year and half of the fight against COVID-19 the skills drain in the middle level has been significantly greater than the shortage of mid-level health staff in the pre-pandemic period.
