The forecast for master's or equivalent level graduates, who have credit mobility of at least 3 months or 15 ECTS points annually among males, shows a declining trend from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 6.89 thousand in 2024, the numbers are projected to decrease steadily each year, reaching 5.36 thousand by 2028. Compared to 2023, where the trend was likely stable, this represents a significant downturn indicative of broader shifts potentially in education choices or mobility opportunities. Year-on-year variations suggest a consistent decline, while the five-year CAGR reflects a general reduction in these numbers over time.
Future trends to watch include shifts in governmental educational policies, changes in international mobility agreements, and evolving preferences among male students toward different education pathways or industries. Monitoring these factors will be critical to understanding the dynamics behind these forecasted decreases.
