Indirect effects may include economic output, social protection, social cohesion, innovation development, economic diversification, and health security. Guided by a conceptual framework of six pathways to economic growth, existing knowledge on the impact of investing in the nursing and midwifery workforce on economic growth are discussed, and directions for future research identified. © 2021, Anthony J.
