The share of practicing physicians aged 65-74 in Italy is projected to increase steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting from 26.42% in 2024, it ascends to 28.44% by 2028. The Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this period is notable, reflecting an average yearly increase as aging doctors continue to practice while newer cohorts enter the profession at a slower rate. This trend underscores the increasing reliance on older physicians.
Future trends to watch for:
- The impact of retirement rates on physician shortages in Italy.
- Changes in healthcare policies to address aging demographics among medical professionals.
- Innovations in medical training and retention strategies for younger doctors.
