As of 2023, the share of male practicing physicians aged 75+ in France was substantial, yet slightly declining over the forecast period. From 2024 to 2028, there is a consistent, albeit very gradual, decrease in this demographic's proportion, with annual decreases ranging from 0.07% to 0.03%. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a steady minor decline around -0.048%.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in retirement age impacting healthcare workforce demographics, ongoing gender balance adjustments in the medical profession, and responses to technological and policy changes that may further influence older physicians' practice rates.
