In 2024, the forecast for females attaining a master's or equivalent level with a study period and/or work placement indicates a steady growth trajectory. Initially standing at an index value of 49 in 2024, there's a gradual rise to 52 by 2028. Compared to 2023, which had a benchmark value (though not explicitly stated), this represents a consistent growth pattern over the forecast period with slight annual increments.
Future trends to watch for include:

- Technological advancements that may influence remote learning or hybrid study placements, potentially affecting female participation rates.
- Socio-economic factors that could accelerate or decelerate growth in these forecasted values.
