In 2023, the share of male practicing physicians aged 55-64 in France was higher than the forecast for 2024 which stands at 11.71% of total physicians. Looking forward, the forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a consistent year-on-year decrease, from 11.71% in 2024 to 7.81% in 2028. This represents a continuous decline with notable reductions each year.

Future trends to watch for:

Continued decrease in the share of male physicians in this age group, potentially signaling a demographic shift in the medical workforce.
Monitoring the entry-rate of younger male physicians to balance the aging demographic.
Assessing the impact on healthcare delivery and policy planning as these changes take effect.
