In 2023, the number for males pursuing a Bachelor's or equivalent level with study periods or work placements stood at 24. The forecasted data shows a decrease from this point, with values falling from 23 in 2024 to 17 in 2028. This indicates a consistent downward trend over the five-year forecasted period.
The year-on-year variation illustrates a declining trend from 2024 onwards, with decreases of 8.7% from 2024 to 2025, 4.8% from 2025 to 2026, 10% from 2026 to 2027, and 5.6% from 2027 to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2024 to 2028 reveals an average annual decline of approximately 6.4%.
Future trends to watch for include demographic shifts and evolving educational preferences or economic factors that might influence male enrollment in such programs. Any policy changes in education or labor markets could also impact these projections significantly.
