The 2023 data reveals Romania leading with 72.93% of young female physicians, followed by Croatia at 64.53%, and Poland at 62.34%. In contrast, Israel and South Korea have lower shares at 40.12% and 39.24%, respectively. The year-on-year trends show slight growth in Romania (0.06%) and significant declines in Italy (-2.03%) and Israel (-1.07%). Over the past years, Poland and Hungary have stabilized, while Chile shows notable growth (1.5%).
Looking forward, expect a continued increase in female physician shares in countries with current positive trends, like Chile and New Zealand. In contrast, Italy and Israel need to address their declining numbers. Monitoring how educational policies and workforce dynamics evolve will be crucial. Watch for initiatives targeting gender equity in medical education, which may alter these trends globally.
