In 2023, the number of males engaged in doctoral or equivalent level studies or combined study with work placement stood at 2. From 2024 to 2028, the figures are forecasted to increase progressively from 2 up to 4, demonstrating a trend of steady growth over this period. The year-on-year analysis points to a consistent increase of 33.3% in the first year, followed by no change, then another similar increment. Over the forecast period, the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is projected at approximately 18.92%.
Future trends to watch include potential fluctuations in enrollment rates due to evolving academic interest, shifts in industry-academia collaboration for work placements, and the introduction of innovative doctoral programs that might influence male participation rates.
