Between 2004-05 and 2016-17, the number of doctoral degrees is projected to increase 10 percent for men and 54 percent for women.
The report also reveals that the number of all high school graduates is estimated to increase nationally by 5 percent. The number of public high school graduates increased 25 percent between 1991 and 2003, the last year of available data. Researchers project an additional 6 percent increase between 2003 and 2016.
The number of high school graduates from private schools is expected to decline over the same time period. However, further research is needed to develop reliable projections of private school enrollment and graduates.
