In Japan, the number of female tertiary education graduates in sciences is forecasted to slightly increase from 2024 to 2028, with projected figures rising from 1.72 in 2024 to 1.75 in 2028. The year-on-year growth rate appears modest, reflecting incremental annual increases of approximately 0.58%. The last five years' compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicates a stable but slow upward trend.
Future trends to watch for include policies promoting STEM education for women, societal shifts encouraging female participation in science fields, and technological advancements requiring diverse scientific expertise. Monitoring these areas could influence or accelerate growth beyond current forecasts.
