πŸ’° Dutch Education Spend Doubled in 10 Years

From 2002 to 2022, Dutch government spending on education doubled, growing from €24.3 billion to €51.4 billion. The €4.7 billion jump between 2020 and 2021 reflects efforts to address pandemic-related challenges, enhance digital learning, and reduce disparities. This significant investment aligns with long-term goals of fostering innovation, lifelong learning, and preparing a competitive, highly skilled workforce.

πŸš— $20K EV Subsidies in Norway

In 2022, Norway led global EV subsidies with $20,360 per purchase, far exceeding Singapore ($11,533) and the US ($7,500). This aligns with Norway's goal of selling only zero-emission vehicles by 2025, driven by financial incentives and infrastructure investments, contributing to over 86% of new car sales being electric in 2021.

βš•οΈ US Leads Global Health Expenditure

In 2022, health expenditure as a percentage of GDP varied widely, with the US at 16.6%, Germany at 12.7%, and France at 11.9%. In contrast, India spent just 3%, TΓΌrkiye 4.3%, and China 5.7%. This disparity highlights a gap in healthcare funding, impacting access and quality, and stressing the need for increased investment in lower-spending countries to enhance health outcomes and economic productivity.
