The forecasted density of nurse graduates in France shows a slight decline from 2024 to 2028, starting at 35.81 units per hundred thousand persons and decreasing to 35.55. The projected year-on-year changes indicate a consistent, albeit minimal, decrease. Notably, in 2023, the density was higher, marking the onset of this gradual decline. Over the last two years, the reduction in numbers highlights a need for strategies to bolster nursing education. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is negative, suggesting a continual decrease in the graduates' density over this period.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy interventions aimed at increasing the number of nursing graduates, educational reforms to attract more students to the nursing profession, and technological advancements that could alter the demand for nurses. Economic factors and societal perceptions of the nursing profession may also significantly influence future density trends.
