In 2023, the share of practising physicians aged 35-44 in France stood at an undisclosed percentage of the total. From 2024 onwards, there is a forecasted continuous increase, with a year-on-year rise ranging from 3.98% to 3.22% over the next four years. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is projected to reflect gradual growth in this age group. This trend suggests a rejuvenation in the workforce, possibly due to retirements among older physicians and a stable influx of new doctors.

Future trends to watch for:

Potential policies promoting medical education for sustainable rejuvenation of the physician workforce.
Monitoring the effects of healthcare reforms on the age distribution of medical professionals.
Examining the impact of work-life balance initiatives and technological advancements on career longevity and job satisfaction among younger physicians.
