In 2023, the number of regular employees in the Medical, Health Care, and Welfare sector in Japan stood at 8.3200 million persons. The forecasted data for 2024-2028 shows a steady increase in employment within this sector, with values rising from 8.4383 million in 2024 to 8.8825 million in 2028. Year-on-year variation percentages indicate a consistent upward trajectory of around 1.35% to 1.4% annually.
Over the last two years, significant contributions to this consistent growth stem from Japan's aging population and the increasing demand for healthcare services. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) for the forecasted period reflects an average annual increase of approximately 1.6% from 2023 to 2028.
Future trends to watch for include technological advancements in healthcare, government policies promoting health and welfare, and potential labor shortages due to demographic shifts. These factors could significantly impact the employment landscape in this sector.
