In examining the forecasted data for females at the doctoral or equivalent level participating in study periods and/or work placements from 2024 to 2028, there is a notable increase. Compared to 2023's actual values, the projected numbers are constant at three for 2024 and 2025, rising to four annually from 2026 to 2028. This suggests a gradually increasing trend with a shift expected in 2026. The 5-year Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) is projected to show modest growth due to the increase beginning in 2026.
Future trends to watch:
- The potential for continued growth in female doctoral enrollment due to favorable educational policies and increasing opportunities in STEM fields.
- The impact of global economic conditions on study and work placement opportunities, potentially influencing these projections.
