According to the report, the current drops in university application rates for 18-year-olds are largely unprecedented in the past three decades, marking a significant concern for the future.
Bekhradnia warns that without a better understanding of the reasons for this reversal in demand, universities could face significant challenges in maintaining enrollment numbers.
If participation rates continue to decline post-2030, it could lead to a potential nightmare for universities, with only a minor net rise in applications expected over the next decade.
The analysis questions whether the recent decline is a temporary blip or a permanent change in participation trends that could complicate the future for higher education institutions.
