The global share of male practicing physicians aged 65-74 indicates notable disparities among countries, with South Korea leading at 90% in 2023, reflecting its substantial male dominance in this age group. The United States (77.32%) and Greece (76.36%) follow, indicating a gradual decline across nations. Countries like Slovenia represent a more diverse demographic at 51.28%, signaling potential gender balance momentum. Between 2022 and 2023, Austria and Italy experienced significant drops by up to 2.6%. Over the past five years, a consistent downward trend suggests increasing participation of women in the medical field globally.
Looking forward, future trends to watch include policies supporting gender equality in medicine, influencing the aging male physician population. Technological adoption and retirement trends may further modify the share and distribution patterns. A shift towards more balanced gender representation is anticipated, especially in nations previously dominated by male practitioners.
