The forecasted share of female practicing physicians aged 55-64 in Italy shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028, starting at 9.91% in 2024 and expected to decrease to 7.19% by 2028. This downward trajectory reflects an average annual decrease of approximately 8.97% over the five-year span. Compared to 2023, when the share was higher, this decline suggests a shift in the age demographics of female physicians in this age group.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential impacts of new gender equality policies in the medical profession that might alter these trends.
The effect of retirement rates and career progression of female physicians influencing workforce composition.
Potential increase in younger female physicians filling these age gaps over time.
