The number of tertiary education graduates in Engineering, Manufacturing, and Construction in Japan is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028, moving from 140.52 thousand to 132.2 thousand. In 2023, the number stood slightly higher than the 2024 figure, underscoring this downward trend.
Year-on-year percentage changes reflect a gradual decrease annually, with an approximate compound annual growth rate (CAGR) decline over this period indicating a consistent reduction in graduates each year.
Future trends to watch for include potential influences from industry demand shifts, changes in educational policy, and evolving demographic pressures. Monitoring these factors can provide insights into whether the declining trend will continue beyond the forecasted period or if new catalytic variables might alter the trajectory.
