In 2024, the sickness net social protection in France is forecasted at 9.4% of GDP, with a gradual increase to 9.59% by 2028. This points to a consistent upward trend with a year-on-year increase of around 0.05% of GDP. In terms of the recent historical context, the continuation of this trend would represent a slow but steady increase in the allocation of GDP to social protection for sickness. The compound annual growth rate over these five years suggests a modest expansion in the share of GDP allocated to this dimension, marking a period of sustained growth in social protection investments.
Future trends to watch include potential policy changes impacting social protection budgets, demographic shifts affecting the demand for sickness-related expenditure, and economic conditions that could influence overall GDP growth and public spending capacities.
