O presente artigo tem o objetivo de apresentar de forma sistemática os resultados iniciais da pesquisa que analisa os impactos no campo da medicina de algumas políticas públicas implementadas durante os governos de Luís Inácio Lula da Silva e Dilma Rousseff (2003-2016) e que levaram, por um lado, ao aumento substancial do número de vagas e cursos de medicina no Brasil e, por outro, permitiram a entrada sem precedentes de mão de obra médica de outros países para atuar na saúde pública brasileira. A presente reflexão busca responder questões como: Quais as consequências para a classe médica de tão abrupta transformação? Quem se beneficiou com a ampliação da oferta dessa mão de obra no país? Como entender as mudanças no mercado de trabalho médico brasileiro em um contexto de grandes transformações macroeconômicas? E, finalmente, como o campo da medicina está reagindo a essas transformações?THE MORE DOCTORS PROGRAM AND ITS IMPACTS ON THE MEDICAL JOB MARKET IN BRASILAbstractThe present article aims to presente, in a systematically way, the initial results of the research that analyzes the impacts in the medical field of some public policies implemented during the PT governments (the workers party in Brazil) of Luís Inácio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff (2003-2016), which brought the substantial increase in the number of vacancies and medical courses in Brazil and, on the other hand, allowed the unprecedented entry of medical labor from other countries to act in brazilian public health. The present reflection seeks to answer questions such as: What are the consequences for the medical class of such abrupt transformation? Who benefited from the expansion of this labor supply in the country? How to understand the changes in the brazilian medical labor market in a context of major macroeconomic transformations? At last, how the field of medicine is reacting to these transformations?Keywords: Field of medicine. Transformations. Brazil

The paper considers the impact of the increase in retirement age on labor supply and economic growth. Combining own estimates of labor participation and demographic projections by the Rosstat, the authors predict marked fall in the labor force (by 5.6 million persons over 2016-2030). Labor demand is also going down but to a lesser degree. If vigorous measures are not implemented, the labor force shortage will reach 6% of the labor force by the period end, thus restraining economic growth. Even rapid and ambitious increase in the retirement age (by 1 year each year to 65 years for both men and women) can only partially mitigate the adverse consequences of demographic trends.

Described as units developing public policies in a design-oriented manner, Policy Labs are tasked to innovate to gain in policy effectiveness and efficiency. However, as public policymaking is a context-dependent activity, the way in which these novel organisations operate significantly differs. This study discusses the emergence of design approaches for policy innovation. The purpose is to map how Policy Labs in Europe introduce design approaches at distinct stages of the policymaking cycle. For this study, 30 organisations in Europe operating at various levels of government were surveyed. Based on the public policymaking process model, it investigates which design methods are Policy Labs deploying to innovate public policies. The study exposed a gap in the awareness of the utilised methods' nature. It also showed that the use of design methods is of less importance than the introduction of design mindsets for public policy innovation, namely ‘user-centredness’, ‘co-creation’, and ‘exploration’.
