💼 5% Adult Participation in Learning in the US
The US participation rate in adult education rose from 1% in 2000 to 5.4% in 2013, then declined to 4.25% in 2023. The government supports adult education through programs like Adult Basic Education and the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act. These initiatives align with global goals like SDG 4.3.1, aiming to increase education participation. Addressing challenges is crucial for revitalizing adult education.

The government has strengthened medical education subsidies to address workforce shortages.

🌊 30% of Hydropower Jobs Were in China
In 2023, China led global hydropower employment with 34%, followed by India at 20%. Their dominance reflects ambitious renewable targets, China aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, while India targets net-zero emissions by 2070. As hydropower expands to meet carbon goals, employment is expected to grow, driven by global targets like IRENA's estimate of an additional 850 GW needed by 2050.
