The number of professionally active midwives in France is projected to decline gradually from 2.78k persons per health professional in 2024 to 2.71k in 2028. The year-on-year variation reveals a subtle decrease averaging around 0.36% annually, highlighting a sustained reduction over the next five years. The compounded average growth rate (CAGR) over this period will denote a negative trend, reflecting pressures on healthcare staffing or policy shifts.
Future trends to watch include demographic changes impacting birth rates, healthcare policies affecting workforce distribution, and investments in midwifery education and recruitment strategies to address potential shortages.
