In 2023, the number of females undertaking a bachelor's or equivalent level work placement stood at a certain benchmark value. The forecast data from 2024 to 2028 indicates a consistent decline in this figure. Compared to 2023, there is a noticeable decrease, which continues annually with the most significant drop observed between 2024 and 2025, followed by a steady decline each subsequent year. The average yearly decline over this five-year period, referred to as CAGR, reflects a stark reduction in female work placements at the bachelor's level.
Future trends to watch for include potential policy changes aimed at increasing female participation in such programs, shifts in industry demand for female graduates, and broader societal changes impacting career choices for women. Monitoring these areas will be crucial to understand if the decline persists or reverses in the coming years.
