The share of male practicing physicians aged 45-54 in Italy is forecasted to decline from 5.9% in 2024 to 4.17% in 2028. This represents a year-on-year average decrease of approximately 7.95%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period starting in 2024 is negative, which implies a consistent downward trend in the presence of males within this age group among total physicians.

Key future trends to watch for include:

The potential impact of retirement policies and demographic changes on the overall workforce structure.
Possible shifts in gender dynamics within the medical profession as younger cohorts enter the workforce.
The influence of healthcare policies that might affect physician demographics, including training and immigration policies.
