The density of practicing midwives in Germany was last recorded in 2023 at a static number, indicating no change between 2023 and 2024, and then a steady increase over the subsequent years. From 2024 to 2025, and from 2025 to 2026, the density remains unchanged, but an increment of approximately 3.1% is expected from 2026 to 2027, followed by another 3.0% increase leading up to 2028. The five-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) reflects a modest upward trend in the profession.
Future trends to watch include possible policy changes or educational programs that could boost midwife density further. Monitoring demographic shifts that may affect demand for midwifery services will also be crucial. Additionally, advancements in healthcare technology and integration into midwifery practices could influence occupational growth and density.
