🎓 Chinese Students Were the Largest International Group in Australia
China and India together account for nearly half of Australia’s international student population in 2023, with over 270K enrolled. The steady rise in South Asian representation, led by Nepal and Pakistan, underscores Australia’s growing education ties across the region. This diversification benefits both universities and the local workforce, addressing skill shortages in healthcare and technology. The Australian International Education Strategy continues to guide this expansion, emphasizing sustainable student mobility and global talent integration.
⚕️ Norway Recorded the Highest Healthcare Employment at >20%
In 2022, Norway led Europe with over 20% of its workforce employed in the health and social care sector, followed by Denmark and the Netherlands, while the EU average stood around 11%. Some of these top-performing nations are also recognized for their strong healthcare systems and solid reputations. According to the latest OECD report, employment in this sector has risen noticeably across most EU countries over the past two decades. However, many nations remain below the EU average, facing persistent workforce shortages driven by an aging population and poor working conditions. Continued improvement remains essential.
🏭 North America Held About 35% of the Global Digital Twin Market
North America led the global digital twin market in 2024 with a 34.1% share, followed closely by Europe at 31.4%. Digital twin technology involves creating a digital counterpart of real-world processes, enabling real-time synchronization, integration, monitoring, testing, and maintenance. Growth is driven by advances in IoT, AI, and cloud computing that enhance data use and efficiency. Government efforts, such as India’s partnership with the International Telecommunication Union to develop AI-powered digital twins, further boost adoption and infrastructure development.
