In 2023, the share of male practicing physicians aged 55-64 in Japan stood at approximately 17.09% of total physicians. From 2024 to 2028, the forecasted data indicates a slight but consistent decline in this demographic's share, with a year-on-year variation showing a decrease of roughly 0.13 percentage points per year. Over the 5-year period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a steady reduction in the share by approximately 0.65% annually.

Future trends to watch for include:

The ongoing impact of demographic shifts, such as aging populations and retirements, on the workforce distribution in the healthcare sector.
Potential policy changes aimed at balancing gender representation among practicing physicians could influence these statistics.
Technological advancements and changes in healthcare demands which may alter workforce dynamics.
