In 2023, the percentage of male practising physicians aged 45-54 in Canada was approximately 53.1%. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline from 52.6% to 50.41%, indicating a consistent downward trend. The average annual decrease, or compound annual growth rate (CAGR), over these five years is approximately 0.78%. This downward trend reflects a broader shift towards a more gender-balanced workforce within this age group.
Future trends to watch for include policy initiatives promoting gender diversity in medicine, which may further accelerate this trend. Additionally, monitoring shifts in the younger cohort of physicians could provide insights into long-term demographic changes in the profession.
