In 2023, the share of practising physicians aged 35-44 in Italy stood at 17.90% of the total physicians. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a slight annual increase, reaching 17.97% by 2028. The year-on-year growth remains minimal, typically less than 0.03 percentage points each year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period indicates steady but marginal upward movement. Variations from 2023 to 2024 are similarly negligible, emphasizing a fairly stable demographic.
Future trends to watch include potential generational shifts as younger doctors enter the workforce and older ones retire, potentially impacting this age group's share. Monitoring healthcare policies and migration patterns will also be critical to understanding long-term trends.
