The forecast for nurse graduates in Italy from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent decline, starting from 8.79 thousand in 2024 to 7.56 thousand in 2028. This represents a year-on-year decrease of 3.53% between 2024 and 2025, and continues dropping, averaging a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of -3.71%. In 2023, the number of nurse graduates was higher than projected for 2024, indicating a downturn in nurse graduates entering the workforce.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes aimed at increasing enrollment in nursing programs, as the healthcare sector may respond to projected shortages. Additionally, monitoring shifts in population demographics or healthcare demands could impact future graduation numbers.
