The forecasted data for professionally active midwives in Italy, from 2024 to 2028, indicate a consistent but modest growth. Starting at 31.07 units per hundred thousand persons in 2024 and reaching 31.35 by 2028, this reflects an average annual growth rate of approximately 0.22%. As we're in 2024, compared to 2023, there is an implied increase since the forecast data indicates an upward trend. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period is characterized by stability with a minimal rise each year.
Future trends to watch include the potential impacts of demographic shifts, healthcare policy changes, and technological advancements in medical training and practice. These factors could influence the demand for midwifery services and the need for strategic workforce planning to address any emerging gaps or surpluses in the profession.
