In 2023, Japan had 13.20% of tertiary education graduates in Humanities and Arts. The forecast from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline, with graduation rates expected to decrease annually by an average of 0.91%. Specifically, in 2024, the rate stands at 13.08%, dropping to 12.62% by 2028. This indicates a continuous downward trend in Humanities and Arts graduates over the next few years.

Future trends to watch for:

Increased emphasis on STEM fields may divert interest and resources away from Humanities and Arts.
Possible economic and social changes might affect interest and career prospects in these fields.
Educational reforms could impact the number of graduates.
