The global share of female practicing physicians aged 75 and over varies significantly by country. As of 2023, Bulgaria leads with 57.97%, followed by Poland at 55.68% and Romania at 45.54%. Other countries such as Ireland, Croatia, and Australia show lower values, 20.7%, 15.78%, and 15.24% respectively, while Austria, New Zealand, and Colombia have shares under 15%, with Colombia at just 9.33%. Notably, year-on-year variations indicate a marked increase in Australia and Romania, despite a slight decrease in Austria. Over the last five years, the average compound annual growth rate (CAGR) suggests a modest upward trend globally.
Future trends to watch in the global share of female practicing physicians aged 75+ include the potential narrowing of gender disparity among senior doctors in more countries. Increased global emphasis on gender diversity in medicine might drive an upward trend in these percentages, especially in nations currently with lower shares, such as Colombia and New Zealand. Monitoring changes in healthcare policies and workforce dynamics will be crucial.
