In 2023, the total number of tertiary education graduates in Health and Welfare in the UK was 13.98. Across the forecast period from 2024 to 2028, there is a steady annual decrease in the graduate numbers, starting at 13.81 in 2024 and reaching 13.17 by 2028. This reflects a gradual contraction in the field, with year-on-year declines marking a persistent downward trend. The compound annual growth rate over these five years is negative, indicating an average annual decrease in graduates. This trend may be influenced by factors such as changes in student interest, funding, and industry demand.
Future trends to watch for include shifts in healthcare demands due to an aging population, which might lead to a resurgence in interest and potentially reverse the current forecast. Additionally, evolving educational policies and investments in training could alter the course of this declining trend.
