Forecast: Professionally Active Nurses, Midewives, Health Care Assistants and Home-based Personal Care Workers in Italy

The number of professionally active nurses, midwives, healthcare assistants, and home-based personal care workers in Italy is expected to follow a downward trend from 2024 to 2028, decreasing from 1.055 million in 2024 to 1.0159 million in 2028. Compared to the previous actual data up to 2023, this forecasted decline illustrates a year-on-year reduction ranging from approximately -0.94% to -0.97% annually.

• Demographic shifts such as an aging population might increase demand for personal care workers.
• Economic factors and migration patterns could influence supply and sustainability of the workforce.
