In 2023, the density of professionally active nurses in France was below 10.03 per thousand persons. Forecasted data from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual annual increase in nurse density, from 10.03 in 2024 to 10.5 in 2028. This reflects a consistent growth trend averaging around 1.15% annually over this period.
Future trends to watch for include potential impacts of healthcare policies on nurse recruitment and retention, advancements in nursing education programs, and demographic shifts that could affect healthcare demand. Monitoring these elements will be crucial for sustaining and enhancing nurse density in the coming years.
