The forecast shows a steady increase in the number of professional nurses and midwives employed in hospitals in France from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 389.45 thousand in 2024, the numbers are expected to reach 392.83 thousand by 2028. Assuming the actual number for 2023 is the same baseline as 2024, the growth is subtle yet consistent, suggesting a stable demand for these professionals. Year-on-year increases are slight, reflecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 0.75% over the five-year period.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of healthcare policies aimed at expanding medical services, demographic changes such as aging populations, and potential advancements in healthcare technology that could either increase demand for nursing staff or improve efficiencies, potentially adjusting employment needs. Moreover, global health issues and economic conditions can affect this trajectory significantly, either accelerating the growth or necessitating an adjustment in forecasted needs.
