The number of female practicing physicians aged 35-44 in Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting from 27.82 thousand in 2024 and dropping to 27.14 thousand by 2028. This represents a consistent year-on-year decrease of approximately 0.6% to 0.64%. In comparison to the figures in 2023, based on this trajectory there has been a noticeable decline suggestive of demographic shifts or external factors impacting female physicians in this age group. Over the five-year forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) depicts a slight contraction, indicative of a small but steady decrease in the workforce.
Future trends to watch for include policies affecting medical education and gender equality measures in the workforce that could change these patterns. Additionally, trends in healthcare demands and migration of female physicians to other roles or geographies may further influence these figures. Monitoring these elements is crucial for understanding long-term changes in the demographic composition of Italy's healthcare sector.
