The share of male practicing physicians aged 45-54 in Canada is projected to decrease slightly from 10.02% in 2024 to 9.7% in 2028. This represents a subtle downward trend with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting a gradual decline. Compared to the year 2023, when the percentage was higher, the forecast suggests a consistent annual decrease of approximately 0.1 percentage point. This trend highlights ongoing gradual reshaping of the demographic composition within this sector of the medical workforce.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in gender balance and the impact of policies aiming for more gender diversity in the medical profession. Additionally, observing the transition of other age groups and their gender composition may provide insights into broader trends in the healthcare workforce.
