As of 2023, the share of practising physicians aged 35 or less in Italy stood below 11%. Forecasted data indicates a gradual decline in their proportion from 2024 to 2028, with notable small reductions each year. The year-on-year variation is modest yet consistent, suggesting a steady trend towards an aging workforce. The compound average growth rate (CAGR) over five years reflects this continuing decline.

Future trends to watch for include the impact of medical education and training policies, potential reforms in healthcare hiring practices, and the influence of demographics on the supply of young physicians. Addressing these factors could alter the trajectory of this trend.
