As of 2023, the share of female practising physicians aged 35-44 in Canada was below the projected levels for the upcoming years. The forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent upward trend, increasing from 13% to 13.74%. This indicates a gradual yearly growth. The year-on-year variation between 2024 and 2025 suggests a moderate increase in the percentage of female physicians, which is expected to persist through to 2028.
Future trends to watch for:
- Policy initiatives promoting gender equality in medical careers could further accelerate this increase.
- Monitoring the impact of medical school enrollments and their gender composition on these forecasts will be essential.
- Workplace flexibility and family-friendly policies in healthcare institutions may influence these trends significantly.
