What did we actually see?

We use public job adverts as a signal of employer demand. It does not mean that this many people were hired.

MARKET TREND

Data pending

Persistent signals: Development programmes, NGOs, research, M&E and policy are the intended career families; posting-level corpus still needs collection. Emerging signals: Monitoring and evaluation, programme data, impact measurement and project management should be tracked in the dated corpus. Limited signals: Do not publish a numeric market share until dated multi-source vacancy records are collected.

WORKFORCE CONTEXT

Vacancy evidence is not a workforce census

Careerlator does not infer the number of employed graduates from job-board listings. The current public snapshot is used as a market signal only.

Market picture

What should you do from Year 1 to graduation?

The best time to prepare for the work is before final year. Your plan should match the kind of Development Studies career you want, not just the calendar.

Before you choose Development Studies

Do not make the decision from one salary figure or one job-board count. Look at the work, the market evidence, the training, the professional requirements, where the jobs are and what you are willing to build during university.
