Summary/Abstract: In our study, we seek to answer the question of how demographic trends and educational policy interventions in the coming decades may affect the number of people in education. Our population projections show that the decline in the domestic population since 1980 will continue in the coming decades. Our analysis shows that in the long term, the number of people in education and training at all levels of education will fall, adding that education policy has some room for manoeuvre in adjusting the number of students. The expected reduction in the number of students could generate substantial savings, the question is how to use them, whether to reinvest them or to withdraw them from the education system.
