🎓 >1M Law & Social Sciences Students in Germany
Law, economics, and social sciences led German university enrollments with 1.13 million students in 2022/2023, followed by engineering at 763,971, and mathematics/natural sciences at 314,071. Vocational fields like agriculture and health sciences saw smaller enrollments, reflecting skill gaps and labor shortages in crucial sectors like healthcare, engineering, and agriculture.
🍃 Global Renewable Capacity Tripled
Global renewable energy capacity more than doubled from 1.2TW in 2010 to 3TW in 2022. This rapid growth reflects rising global investments in wind, solar, and hydropower, driven by climate commitments and technological advancements, highlighting the shift towards sustainable energy and the increasing urgency to reduce reliance on fossil fuels.
💰 Singapore Spent 15B SGD on Healthcare
Singapore's government health expenditure surged from 4B SGD in 2011 to 15B SGD in 2020, marking a near fourfold increase. This sharp rise, driven by an aging population and pandemic-related spending, reflects the government's strategic focus on strengthening healthcare infrastructure and addressing evolving public health demands.
