## 💼 China Accounts for Nearly 35% of the Workforce Among the Top Countries

China led the global labour force with nearly 35% of workers. The scale reflects long-standing [population advantages](https://www.jff.org/blog/the-power-of-population-specific-workforce-solutions/?ref=newsletters.qs.com) and deep industrial capacity. [Large workforces in Indonesia ](https://www.ulandssekretariatet.dk/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Indonesia-LMP-2025-final.pdf?ref=newsletters.qs.com)and Nigeria also highlight shifting economic weight toward [emerging markets](https://corporatefinanceinstitute.com/resources/economics/emerging-markets/?ref=newsletters.qs.com). These large labour pools continue to drive massive demand for skills training, technical colleges, and digital upskilling. Many countries are expanding vocational pathways and STEM programs to align talent pipelines with evolving workforce needs, led by national education ministries.

## **🍃** China Led in Wind Energy Capacity Globally

[![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2025/12/data-src-image-1634dfe8-0253-4f4f-9346-32255cf3537a.png)](https://index.holoniq.com/charts/HCH199PSOO8CKWBTJ5W7?ref=newsletters.qs.com)

Global wind energy capacity is led by China in 2023, followed by USA and Germany. This reflects how both advanced economies are scaling renewables. The spread across Asia, Europe and the Americas highlights how wind has become a mainstream pillar of national [energy mixes](https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/engineering/energy-mix?ref=newsletters.qs.com). Countries investing heavily in [engineering talent](https://www.bcsmis.com/tech-development-green-engineering/?ref=newsletters.qs.com), technical institutes and green skills programs are strengthening the workforce needed to expand wind infrastructure, supported by national energy ministries.

## 🤖 US Consumers Mainly Used AI for Emails

[![](https://storage.ghost.io/c/f1/d4/f1d411df-6f49-4c75-a302-f8c9e9f59495/content/images/2025/12/data-src-image-16e97548-f5a9-4b94-a23e-5d9370b2cfcb.png)](https://index.holoniq.com/charts/HCHZC9DIJUG1X3XCSLJ0?ref=newsletters.qs.com)

Consumers in the US lean toward practical AI tasks, with 45% using tools to respond to emails and 43% relying on them for financial questions. Travel planning reflects how AI is reshaping everyday decision making. Lower uptake for social posts and summarisation highlights that creative and longer form tasks remain more selective. These patterns align with rising adoption of [personal productivity apps](https://focuskeeper.co/glossary/what-is-personal-productivity-applications?ref=newsletters.qs.com), supported by digital skills initiatives and[ AI literacy programmes](https://www.simmons-simmons.com/en/products/ai-literacy-programme?ref=newsletters.qs.com) promoted by national education ministries.
