🏫 Denmark's Upper Secondary Student Population Fell by 5%
Denmark's upper secondary student population dropped by 5% between 2017 and 2022 due to demographic shifts, declining birth rates, and increased vocational training options, which diverted some students from traditional upper secondary pathways. Economic factors and shifts in educational preferences also contributed to this trend. This reflects changing youth aspirations in Denmark.
🪵 US Wood and Fuel Use Down ~15%
Wood and derived fuel consumption in the US industrial sector fell by nearly 15% between 2014 and 2022 due to increased competition from alternative energy sources, such as natural gas and renewable technologies. Stricter environmental regulations and a push for more efficient energy use also played a role in reducing the reliance on these fuels in manufacturing and other industries, contributing to the steady decline in their use.
💻 1+ Hour Saved with Telemedicine in Australia and Italy
Both conservative and optimistic estimates show that Italy and Australia saved over an hour per year on medical appointments through telemedicine. Time-saving was possible due to reduced travel and waiting times and streamlined appointment management. In both countries, the adoption of telemedicine improved accessibility and efficiency in healthcare services, reducing patient time commitments significantly, especially during and after the pandemic.
