Spain has never had as many troops in the health sector as it does today . According to Funcas estimates, based on data from the Active Population Survey (EPA), the number at the end of last year reached 1.1 million, which means that the figures "practically doubled between the years 2000 and 2019 ".

"Despite the fact that the health situation in Spain at this time is critical, Spain has never had as many troops in the sector as it does today," says the Fundación de Cajas de Ahorro, which today published the first document in the series Those who take care of us in the coronavirus crisis , and in which it also shows that, "contrary to what is often claimed, the occupation in the health activities sector was quite protected from the seizures of employment caused by the economic crisis".

The data exposed by Funcas show that in the last 20 years, "the weight of the occupation in health activities with respect to the total occupation of the country has grown considerably." "In 2000, those employed in the health sector barely represented 4% of all employed in Spain, while in 2019 that proportion is close to 5.7%, " he explains.

And in the specific case of the years of economic crisis, "the occupation of men managed to grow between 2008 and 2014", while in the case of women "it practically stabilized during those critical years, to resume from 2014 the previous strong growth path. "
