🎓 60% Rise in Higher Ed Students in Egypt

Higher education enrollment in Egypt surged by 38% from 2.53M in 2009 to 3.5M 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.

🏗️ 30% Rise in Construction Jobs in Australia

From 2013 to 2023, employment in Australia's construction industry rose by over 30%, increasing from 1M to 1.3M workers. The most significant growth occurred between 2021 and 2023, driven by infrastructure projects and housing demand. This expansion aligns with government initiatives like the HomeBuilder scheme and public infrastructure investments aimed at addressing housing shortages and ongoing challenges such as labor shortages and rising costs.

⚕️ 10% Increase in Doctors in Russia

The number of doctors per 10,000 people in Russia declined from 51.2 in 2011 to 45.9 in 2015 but rose to 51 by 2021, largely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Government initiatives, such as the State Programme for Healthcare Development, aim to improve healthcare access and quality, focusing on increasing healthcare professionals and enhancing preventive measures. These efforts align with Sustainable Development Goals, particularly SDG 3, ensuring universal health coverage and addressing public health challenges effectively.
