The forecast for the density of professionally active midwives in Japan shows a steady increase from 2024 to 2028, with values rising from 54.87 to 64.43 health professionals per thousand live births. In analyzing the year-on-year percentage change, there is a consistent upward trend, with each year showing a growth in density. This reflects an ongoing investment in maternal health services, as the CAGR indicates a positive average annual growth rate over the 5-year period.
As Japan continues to focus on improving healthcare and demographic challenges such as low birth rates, key future trends to watch include leveraging technology in midwifery, addressing labor shortages, and potential policy reforms that could affect workforce density.
