π« 50K Childcare Places Removed in England
Between 2020 and 2023, the number of registered childcare places in England fell by nearly 50,000, partly due to financial challenges faced by providers, reduced funding, and the impacts of COVID-19. Rising operational costs, staff shortages, and regulatory requirements have also led to closures, making childcare less accessible and reducing overall capacity.
π Taiwanβs Renewable Capacity Up 80%
Taiwan's renewable energy capacity grew by over 80% from 2019 to 2022, largely driven by government efforts to expand solar and wind energy. This growth aligns with Taiwan's goal to achieve 20% renewable energy by 2025 and reduce reliance on coal. Major investments in offshore wind and solar infrastructure boosted capacity significantly during this periodβ.
π >95% of Young Internet Users in Wealthier Countries
In high and upper-middle-income countries, over 95% of young people who are aged 15-24 are active internet users, reflecting widespread access and digital inclusion. Economic development in these nations has supported infrastructure improvements, making internet connectivity accessible to younger demographics who use it for education, communication, and social interaction.
