The forecast for professionally active nurses and midwives in Germany from 2024 to 2028 indicates a steady decline, with values dropping from 65.3 persons per health professional in 2024 to 61.34 in 2028. Comparatively, if the situation in 2023 stood at 66 persons per health professional, Germany is witnessing a consistent decrease over the years.
Year-on-year analysis shows a percentage decrease from 2024 onwards, reflecting challenges in healthcare recruitment and retention. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over the five-year period also aligns with this declining trend, signaling a persistent decrease in workforce per capita.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of policy changes aimed at enhancing healthcare education, immigration policy adjustments to attract foreign-trained professionals, and technological advancements that could affect workforce demand and efficiency.
