In 2023, the number of persons working in public health and hygiene stock companies in Japan was approximately 8.67 thousand. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a steady decline in workforce numbers, dropping from 8.62 thousand in 2024 to 8.42 thousand by 2028. This signals a slight year-on-year decrease of about 0.6% on average. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years reflects a continued workforce reduction due to demographic shifts and industry automation.
Future trends to watch for include:
- Technological advancements providing effective automation solutions, potentially reducing demand for personnel.
- Demographic changes, such as an aging population, potentially impacting workforce supply.
- Policy measures and healthcare reforms aimed at strengthening public health infrastructure and potentially reversing workforce declines.
