In 2023, the share of male practising physicians aged 65-74 in Japan was noted to be 89.50%. The forecasted data for 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent value of 90.14%, indicating a stable percentage among this demographic. Year-on-year variations remain negligible over the forecasted period, suggesting a period of stability with no significant changes expected. The last two years have not seen significant variation, and the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2023 and 2028 is minimal, affirming a steady trend in this sector.

Future trends to watch for:

Aging Population: Monitor how the overall aging of the population might affect the healthcare workforce dynamics in Japan.
Healthcare Policy: Potential changes in retirement age or practice regulations could impact this stability.
Gender Dynamics: Observe any shifts in gender composition due to societal changes encouraging more diverse participation in medicine.
