Premature Mortality. - URL: https://newsletters.qs.com/3-5x-solar-capacity-growth-25-aus-international-students-premature-mortality/ - Published: 2024-06-28T11:09:50.000Z - Updated: 2024-06-28T11:09:49.000Z - Description: Chart of the Day #125 looks at International Students, Solar Energy, and Premature Mortality. - Author: QS - Tags: Charts [**Sawasdee**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thai%5Fgreeting?ref=newsletters.qs.com) 👋 The US has implemented a [federal ban on colleges withholding transcripts ](https://www.insidehighered.com/news/quick-takes/2024/06/27/colleges-anticipate-financial-impact-transcript-withholding-ban?ref=newsletters.qs.com)from most students with unpaid debts. A [new study](https://www.eco-business.com/news/better-refrigeration-could-avoid-almost-2-billion-tonnes-of-co2-per-year-from-food-loss/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) found that more consistent refrigeration of foods throughout the supply chain could avoid nearly 2 billion tonnes of CO2 emissions per year from food loss. ### Today's Topics ✈️ **International Students.** A quarter of Australia’s international students are from China 🌞 **Solar Energy.** 3.5x rise in India's solar energy capacity 🫁 **Premature Mortality.** Circulatory system diseases leading cause of premature deaths in the OECD *For unlimited access to over one million charts,* [*request a demo*](https://webforms.pipedrive.com/f/1uMbIPRqUeVuZ31jVtKWMWIuqU2ga1nKo8aotNdGihU16zgOzuTfRMb9XfIIGmcOT?ref=newsletters.qs.com)*.* ## ✈️ A Quarter of Australia’s International Students Are From China [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/06/HolonIQ_Number_of_international_students_in_Australia_by_country_2023_Thousands_of_Students_HCHBTOXPZEBRF5CF5V48.png)](https://index.holoniq.com/charts/HCHBTOXPZEBRF5CF5V48/Number-of-international-students-in-Australia-by-country%252C-2023-%28Thousands-of-Students%29?ref=newsletters.qs.com) In 2023, over 600K international students studied in Australia. China was the top country of origin, accounting for over 150K international students. Other major source countries were India (19%), Nepal (10%), Columbia (5.4%), and the Philippines (5%). The diverse international student population reflects Australia’s appeal as a study destination, contributing significantly to the country’s economy. ## 🌞 3.5x Rise in India's Solar Energy Capacity [![](https://lh7-us.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcbetCFiWsV9U9GponYgVn3ST-RwN62Lrtcd4PhP4nj6CM5IrTX59ZD1W-yaQfTt7CQFWMA7AjqD_kpioTK3_y-inzCyP1Yn7RP0lFvkoliNaJqyCdYYoyR8HkOpFI5aUdtUkVvqZYTPfBEbh-aETzPPIR8?key=SEm93cK4XpEUgW8wDaaX4g)](https://index.holoniq.com/charts/HCHYAGHLHIYC1MKY6FCM/Solar-energy-capacity-in-India%252C-2009-2022-%28Gigawatts%29?ref=newsletters.qs.com) India's solar electricity capacity rose from 39MW in 2009 to 63GW in 2022, marking a significant increase over the decade. From 2017 to 2022, there was a notable rise in annual solar energy capacity (3.5x), signifying the country's escalating investments in renewable energy. India also achieved a significant milestone in 2024, with solar power [capacity exceeding 84 GW, representing over 57%](https://solarquarter.com/2024/06/13/solar-surge-indias-renewable-energy-revolution-tops-84-gw-representing-over-57-of-total-capacity-in-2024/?ref=newsletters.qs.com#google%5Fvignette) of the nation's total installed capacity in the second quarter. ## 🫁 Circulatory System Diseases Leading Cause of Premature Deaths in the OECD [![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2024/06/HolonIQ_Distribution_of_premature_deaths_from_select_causes_of_treatable_mortality_across_OECD_countries_2021_HCH8BTAVI4D26JMBIL6V.png)](https://index.holoniq.com/charts/HCH8BTAVI4D26JMBIL6V/Distribution-of-premature-deaths-from-select-causes-of-treatable-mortality-across-OECD-countries%252C-2021?ref=newsletters.qs.com) Circulatory system diseases were the leading cause of premature death in OECD countries in 2021, accounting for over one-third of all premature deaths. Cancer was the second most common cause of premature deaths, accounting for 23% of all premature deaths. Respiratory system diseases, diabetes, other endocrine diseases, and all other causes accounted for the remaining share of premature deaths. The WHO Mortality Database also [states](https://www.oecd-ilibrary.org/docserver/ec2b395b-en.pdf?expires=1719564986&id=id&accname=guest&checksum=E95B99C980F29C7F2963800858775B4A&ref=newsletters.qs.com) that some cancers that are preventable through public health measures are the main causes of preventable mortality. --- **Like getting this newsletter?* For unlimited access to over one million charts,*[ *request a demo*](https://webforms.pipedrive.com/f/1uMbIPRqUeVuZ31jVtKWMWIuqU2ga1nKo8aotNdGihU16zgOzuTfRMb9XfIIGmcOT?ref=newsletters.qs.com)*.* --- **Thank you for reading.
