In 2023, the share of female practicing physicians aged 35 or less in Italy was recorded at approximately 5.85% of total physicians. From 2024 onwards, forecast data show a slight decline, with values steadily decreasing from 5.79% in 2024 to an estimated 5.55% in 2028. The year-on-year percentage variation reflects a stable downward trend, averaging a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of around -1.02% over the five-year forecast period.
Future trends to monitor include initiatives aimed at gender equality in medical training and practice. Additionally, the impact of demographic shifts and changes in the educational landscape could influence the proportion of young female physicians.
