🧑🏫 Over 20% Rise in Supplementary School Students in Japan
The number of students attending supplementary tutorial schools in Japan grew by 22%, from 12M to 14.5M, between 2013 and 2022, reflecting the increased demand for academic support. Influenced by pandemic-related challenges, enrollment peaked at 14.75M in 2021. These tutorial schools play a crucial role in Japan's competitive educational landscape and generated over 500B Yen in 2022.
🍃 >40% Increase in Dutch Renewable Energy Production
Renewable electricity production in the Netherlands grew from 0.8 TWh to 33 TWh between 1990 and 2020, showcasing the nation’s commitment to cleaner energy. Driven by significant investments in wind and solar power, renewables contributed to nearly 50% of total electricity in 2023. The Dutch government’s long-term strategy includes achieving nearly 100% sustainable energy by 2050, reinforcing its position in Europe’s green energy transition.
🌎 Over 6% Decline in Male Smokers in Brazil
Smoking rates in Brazil fell significantly, with male smokers dropping from 18% to 11.7% and female smokers from 12% to 7.2% between 2008 and 2023. This trend underscores the impact of Brazil’s comprehensive tobacco control policies, including health warnings, high tobacco taxes, and public health campaigns, which have collectively driven a steady reduction in smoking prevalence.
