🎓 40% of Japan’s University Students Were Female in 2022
The proportion of female students in Japanese universities rose from 42% in 2013 to 44% by 2022, reflecting government initiatives for gender equality, including the Fifth Basic Plan for Gender Equality and the Initiative for Realising Diversity in the Research Environment. These efforts aim to increase women's representation in academia and leadership roles, addressing historical underrepresentation while also tackling cultural barriers that hinder women's career progression in higher education.
🌞 30% Fall in Belgium's Solar Energy From 2021 to 2022
Belgium's solar photovoltaic capacity additions peaked at 725MW in 2021, following steady growth from 284MW in 2017 to 544 MW in 2019, before declining to 477MW in 2022. The government aims for a renewable energy share of at least 50% by 2030, with specific regional targets and initiatives like the Energy Transition Fund and Green Certificates to incentivize investment and citizen participation in renewable energy projects.
🧑‍⚕️ >90% Immunized Against MCV1 in India in 2022
India's MCV1 immunization coverage surged from 10% in 1986 to 95% in 2022, driven by initiatives like the Universal Immunization Programme and Mission Indradhanush. Notable milestones included surpassing 50% in 1992 and reaching 90% in 2017. Despite setbacks during the COVID-19 pandemic, coverage rebounded by 2022. The government's commitment aligns with global health goals to eliminate measles and ensure equitable access to vaccinations for all children across the country.
