👶 Thailand’s Early Childhood Net Enrollment Fell Nearly 5%
Thailand’s early childhood net enrollment rate fell by nearly 5% from 2022 to 2023. To address this, the government implements the National Strategic Plan for Early Childhood Development, aiming for 90% age-appropriate development and full enrollment of children aged 3-5, and the Thailand Zero Dropout initiative, which focuses on eliminating dropouts and ensuring inclusive education.
⚕️ >10 Registered Pharmacists Served Every 10K People in the US
By 2022, the US had over 10 pharmacists per 10K people, reflecting growing healthcare demand and workforce expansion. This improved pharmaceutical access aligns with government goals to enhance care delivery. Key policies include the Equitable Community Access to Pharmacist Services Act, enabling Medicare reimbursement for pharmacist services, and various state laws expanding pharmacists’ scope to provide immunizations and testing, supporting their vital role in public health and patient care.
🍃 China’s Solar PV Workforce Was 16× Larger Than the US
In 2023, China’s solar photovoltaic workforce was over 16 times larger than the US's, reflecting China’s dominance in renewables, including hydropower and wind. This growth aligns with China’s "Renewable Energy Law,” which promotes renewable capacity expansion and job creation. To address this gap, the US is advancing the solar sector through the Department of Energy’s Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) Multi-Year Program Plan. This plan focuses on accelerating solar technology innovation and increasing the renewable energy workforce in the US.
