In 2023, the share of female practicing physicians aged 35 or less was 13.75%. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual increase, reaching 13.83% by 2028. This represents a slight stabilization trend, with year-on-year variations showing minuscule increments of approximately 0.01% to 0.02% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period is anticipated to be roughly 0.07%.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy shifts supporting gender parity in medical education and practice, which could accelerate the increase. Additionally, societal changes and increased emphasis on work-life balance might influence gender distributions further in the coming years.
