From 2023, the number of females with doctoral or equivalent level work placements is predicted to increase modestly. Starting at 1 unit in 2024 and 2025, the value doubles to 2 units by 2026 and maintains this level through 2028. This indicates a stable year-on-year growth from 2025 to 2026. Observing a constant figure in the subsequent years suggests a plateauing trend.
Future trends to watch for include the factors influencing educational attainment and labor market demand for doctorate-level females, which can further affect placement opportunities. Monitoring changes in industry requirements and gender parity in advanced disciplines is crucial.
