As of 2023, the number of female tertiary education graduates in agriculture in Japan stood at a quantified benchmark prior to forecasted growth from 2024 onwards. The data indicates a steady increase in graduates from 2024 to 2028, with incremental growth in the number of graduates each year. This reflects a growing interest or encouragement in female participation within the agricultural sector, supported by educational policies or broader societal trends favoring gender diversity.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Government policies aimed at increasing female representation in STEM fields, including agriculture.
- Technological advancements making agriculture more appealing to a broader demographic.
- Shifts in industry demand that could affect educational pursuits and job placements in agriculture.
