In 2025, more than one-third of doctors in EU countries were aged 55 and older. In half of the EU member states, this share reached 40 percent or more.
According to the report *"Health at a Glance: Europe 2025"*, jointly published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) and the European Commission, over one-third (35%) of doctors in the EU are aged 55 and older.
This figure is an unweighted average, meaning it does not account for population size. Since in the most populous EU countries this share exceeds 40 percent, the weighted average is likely higher than 35 percent.
The situation is even more concerning in nearly half of the countries, where almost one in five doctors is over the age of 65.
In Germany and France, the proportion of doctors aged 55 and older is close to half—44% and 43% respectively.
Other countries where this share has reached 40 percent or more include Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, Belgium, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Poland, and Cyprus.
In all Nordic countries, this figure is below the EU average, with some, such as Norway and Finland, reporting only 24 percent of doctors aged 55 and above.
The aging of the medical workforce is especially noticeable in a number of European countries, where in more than 10 of them, doctors aged 65 and over make up nearly one-fifth of the medical workforce.
In 11 EU countries, the share of doctors aged 65 and over exceeded 18 percent, and in most of them surpassed 20 percent. According to Eurostat, in Italy this figure reached 27 percent.
The EU country with the highest proportion of young doctors—under the age of 35—is Malta, with 46 percent, followed by Romania at 34 percent.
No EU country surpasses 30 percent in this category, except for the EU candidate country Turkey, where the figure is 41 percent.
In Italy, the share of doctors under 35 is 11 percent, in France—16 percent, and in Germany—20 percent.
Gaétan Lafortune, coordinator of the Health at a Glance: Europe report and senior economist at the OECD Health Division, stated that significant differences in the proportion of older doctors (aged 55+) across European countries can be explained by a combination of structural policies and cultural factors that influence both the entry of new doctors and the retention or exit of those already working.
