In 2023, the number of male practicing physicians aged 75 and over in France was estimated below 6.52 thousand. From 2024 onwards, forecasts indicate a steady increase, with an expected rise to 9.41 thousand by 2028. Notably, year-on-year growth rates are projected to show a consistent upward trend of around 10-11% annually. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period is expected to be approximately 9.5%, signifying robust growth in this demographic.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes affecting retirement age, shifts in the healthcare workforce dynamics, and broader demographic changes. These trends may impact the number of older male physicians continuing to practice beyond the age of 75.
