Forecast: Practising Nurses, Midewives, Health Care Assistants and Home-based Personal Care Workers in Italy

The workforce of practising nurses, midwives, health care assistants, and home-based personal care workers in Italy saw a significant growth in 2023. Since the data post-2023 are forecasts, there is a steady yet modest upward trajectory observed from 2024 to 2028, with increases in value recorded each year, indicating a stable demand for these professions.

On a yearly comparison from 2024 onward, the number of personnel is expected to increase marginally each year, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflecting slow but consistent expansion.

Future trends to watch for include:

• The impact of demographic changes, such as an aging population, which may drive higher demand for healthcare and personal care services.
• Policies and programs that Italy may implement to address workforce shortages and training, and their potential influence on employment figures.
• Technological advancements that could either supplement or replace workforce needs in healthcare.
