In 2023, the share of female practicing physicians aged 75+ in Italy was notably lower than in the forecasted years beginning 2024. The expected increase from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent year-on-year growth in the share. Specifically, the year-on-year percentage growth from 2024 to 2025 is approximately 2.2%, from 2025 to 2026 is about 2.0%, from 2026 to 2027 is around 1.8%, and from 2027 to 2028 is close to 1.7%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over five years (2024-2028) averages at roughly 1.9%.
Future trends to watch for:
- An aging population could further increase the share of older female physicians.
- Broader societal trends towards gender equality may gradually change retirement patterns, impacting the share of older female practicing physicians.
- Policy changes affecting retirement age can significantly influence future forecasts.
