The number of female tertiary education graduates in science in Japan has shown a gradual increase. From 2024 to 2028, the number of graduates is forecasted to rise from 7.77 thousand to 7.79 thousand persons. This suggests a year-on-year increase of approximately 0.13% between 2026 and 2027, stabilizing thereafter. Although minor, these incremental changes indicate a steady growth trend over the five-year period with a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) close to zero as the increase is marginal.

Future trends to watch for include:

Government initiatives to boost female participation in STEM fields.
Changes in educational policy or cultural shifts encouraging more women to pursue science education.
Technological advancements requiring a steady increase in science graduates, potentially influencing these forecasts.
