In 2023, the share of female physicians aged 45-54 in Japan was at a lower percentage compared to forecasted values. From 2024 to 2028, the share is projected to rise annually, with an average yearly increase of about 1.26 percentage points. This steady year-on-year growth reflects an increasing trend of female representation in this age group. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these years highlights a significant upward trend of representation in the medical profession.
Future trends to watch for include policies promoting gender equity in the workplace and potential shifts in societal norms, which could further influence the participation rates of women in medicine, especially in senior positions.
