The alarmingly trend of doctors reducing their working time

 Yes. And this trend will accelerate in the coming years. In the last decade, there are more female doctors graduating each year than males.

Look at the study linked in the article... 61% of doctors are considering reducing their time working. Unfortunately the data was not broken down by sex so we don't get the complete picture, but this is consistent with the overall societal trend of women reducing hours to have families whereas men will work until retirement. And paradoxically, the greatest threat of this shortage will be in the gyno/ob sectors where the % of female doctors is the highest. In fact, in the US, there is an anticipated shortage of 100,000 gyno/ob doctors in the coming years.

Nothing wrong with this. This is just how it is all working now, and we have to understand the effects and how to maintain proper societal healthcare under these circumstances. 

And like anything in society, the key is to get the proper data so we can make the proper decisions.
