The number of females at the master's level with study periods and/or work placements is anticipated to increase steadily from 27 units in 2024 to 31 units by 2028. In 2023, this number stood at 26 units, representing a baseline for future growth. Year-on-year growth indicates a consistent increase of approximately 3.7% as we progress from 2024 to 2028. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 is also estimated at about 3.7%, reflecting a stable upward trajectory over the coming five years.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of educational policies and workplace placement opportunities on female participation rates. Increased emphasis on gender equality and support for women in education and the workforce could drive further gains in these numbers, possibly exceeding current forecasts.
