The data indicates a consistent increase in the number of males enrolled in doctoral or equivalent level programs with work placements or study periods from 2024 to 2028. The value reflected stood at 17 for 2024 and is projected to reach 20 by 2028. There was a steady annual growth of approximately 5.88% from 2024 to 2025, and 5.56% from 2025 to 2026, with subsequent stabilization in 2026 and 2027.
