The share of female practicing physicians aged 65-74 in Canada is projected to see a gradual increase from 2.92% in 2024 to 3.31% by 2028. Compared to 2023 data, which is our baseline, this indicates modest but consistent growth predicted over the coming years. Year-on-year variation reveals an average annual increase of about 3.13%. Over the five-year period from 2024 to 2028, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) stands at an estimated 3.22%, suggesting a steady reinforcement of female presence within this age cohort of physicians.
Future trends to watch for include the broader impact of an aging physician workforce on healthcare delivery and the need for initiatives supporting female physicians as they transition into the later stages of their careers. Potential policies encouraging work-life balance and addressing gender-specific needs within this demographic could influence these figures positively.
