The share of male practicing physicians aged 55-64 in Italy has steadily decreased from 54.84% in 2024 to a projected 49.71% by 2028. This indicates a consistent year-on-year decline, driven by changes in workforce demographics and potentially increased retirements or shifts in professional roles among the older age group. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this period suggests an average annual decrease, reflecting a persistent downward trajectory in this specific cohort of the medical workforce.
Future trends to watch for include increased gender parity in senior medical roles due to the potential rise in female practitioners and the ongoing impact of retirement rates and healthcare policy on physician demographics.
