🎓 >10% Rise in Public University Students in Japan
The enrollment at Japan's public universities grew from 146,000 in 2013 to 163,000 in 2022, reflecting rising demand. This aligns with government initiatives to internationalize higher education, such as the Top Global Universities Project, which aims to enhance global competitiveness and address labor shortages. Despite demographic challenges, these efforts underscore Japan's commitment to strengthening its higher education sector.
⚛️ 25% Drop in Europe's Nuclear Electricity Generation
Nuclear electricity generation in Europe rose from 19.7 TWh in 1965 to 1,110 TWh in 2005, then declined to 741.5 TWh in 2022. This reflects aging plants, policy shifts, and increased renewable energy adoption. The EU aims to enhance energy security and decarbonize the economy through initiatives like the Energy Union Strategy, which includes goals to increase energy efficiency and boost research and innovation. The Euratom Treaty governs nuclear policy, ensuring safety and waste management standards.
🩸 Canadians With Diabetes Up 30%
The number of Canadians diagnosed with diabetes increased from 1.2 million in 2003 to 2.6 million in 2022. In response, the Canadian government has implemented initiatives like the National Framework for Diabetes Act and the Framework for Diabetes in Canada. These efforts aim to improve access to prevention and treatment, enhance research, and address health inequities, aligning with broader goals to reduce the burden of diabetes.
