In 2023, the share of male practicing physicians aged 75+ in Canada stood at an estimated value of 86.34%. The forecasted trend from 2024 to 2028 suggests a slight annual decrease in this demographic, decreasing incrementally from 86.32% in 2024 to 86.25% by 2028. The year-on-year percentage change remains minimal, indicating stability. Over the five-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a marginal decline.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of retirement trends and healthcare policy changes on physician demographics, as well as the potential increase in younger and more diverse entry-level physicians that may influence age and gender distributions in the medical workforce.
