20222037
Note: The underlying model sets 2022 supply equal to demand, so the shortage is understated here. The country was already below full adequacy in 2022, which means the true gap by 2037 is larger than these figures show. Supply is projected to fall from 115,270 to 94,890 full-time-equivalent psychologists while demand rises to 174,050.
