In 2023, the value for doctoral or equivalent level work placements was stable, and projections anticipate gradual annual growth: 10 in 2024, rising by one each year to reach 13 by 2027, and stabilizing in 2028. This reflects a consistent pattern and marks an increase from 2023 levels. Year-on-year growth is approximately 10%, while the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 is modest, indicating a steady but unspectacular increase over the forecast period.
Future trends to watch for include potential disruptions from technological advancements, regulatory changes, or shifts in educational policy, which may impact the demand for doctoral placements.
