The density of professional nurses and midwives employed in hospitals in Italy is forecasted to remain stable at 4.62 units per thousand persons from 2024 to 2028. This stability indicates no year-on-year variation in the forecasted period, maintaining the level observed in 2023. Consequently, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the last five years remains at 0%, indicating no growth. This suggests a consistent approach to staffing levels in response to demographic and healthcare needs over this time frame.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in healthcare demand that may arise from an aging population, technological advancements, and evolving healthcare policies. These factors could influence staffing needs, potentially requiring strategic adjustments in nurse and midwife employment to meet future healthcare demands.
