In 2023, female practicing physicians aged 35 or less constituted 11.22% of the total physicians in Germany. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline in their share, decreasing from 11.18% in 2024 to 11.02% in 2028. Year-on-year variations are slight, averaging around a 0.06% decline annually. On a broader scale, the CAGR over the five-year period indicates a consistent, albeit slight, downward trend in the proportion of young female physicians.

Future trends to watch for include:

Efforts to promote gender diversity in medicine, which may influence the share of female physicians.
Changes in medical school enrollment trends and policies impacting female medical graduates.
Societal and policy shifts affecting work-life balance and career progression for female practitioners.
