🎓 60% Rise in Higher Ed Students in Egypt
Higher education enrollment in Egypt surged by 38% from 2.53 million in 2009 to 3.5 million in 2021, driven by government initiatives under Vision 2030. The National Strategy for Higher Education 2030 aims to align educational outcomes with labor market needs, doubling the number of universities and increasing funding significantly. By 2030, Egypt targets a 45% enrollment rate and aims to have 10 universities ranked among the top 500 globally.
🌬️ >50% Rise in LATAM and Caribbean Wind Capacity
Installed wind power capacity in Latin America and the Caribbean surged nearly sixfold from 7GW in 2013 to 40 GW in 2021, reflecting a strong commitment to renewable energy. This growth aligns with initiatives like the "Renewables in Latin America and the Caribbean" (RELAC), aiming for 80% renewable electricity by 2030. Supported by investments from the Inter-American Development Bank, this transition promotes job creation, energy security, and a sustainable future for the region.
🩺 >40% of MHealth Users Tracked Their Sleep
In 2023, 48% of US users tracked sleep via health apps, followed by 46% for weight and 41% for diet tracking. This trend aligns with government initiatives like Healthy People 2030, promoting healthier lifestyles through digital tools. Other monitored aspects included blood pressure (36%) and mental health (23%). Despite the lower interest in pregnancy tracking at 8%, the data reflects a growing reliance on technology for comprehensive health management and chronic disease prevention.
