💼 Healthcare Led in Global Female Workforce Share

In 2024, women made up the majority of workers in healthcare (65%) and education (54%), highlighting their dominance in care related and service driven roles. The trend suggests that female employment remains concentrated in sectors historically associated with social impact and caregiving. While professional and financial services see lower shares at 42%, gradual entry into these fields indicates shifting workforce dynamics. Policies such as the EU Gender Equality Strategy, aim to further close gaps and diversify opportunities.

🍃 Finland Ranked Highest in Global Sustainability Scores

Finland leads globally in sustainability with a score of 87, followed closely by Sweden and Denmark, highlighting Northern Europe’s strong environmental and social policies. These scores reflect progress on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, particularly in clean energy, education, and climate action. High performers Germany and France show that long term policy frameworks and green investments drive measurable impact. The EU Green Deal continues to be a key instrument in advancing the UN 2030 Agenda.

🤖 Global Private Investment in AI Reached Nearly $200B

Global private investment in AI surged from $11B in 2013 to a peak of $185B in 2021 before stabilizing at $109B in 2024. The spike reflects rapid adoption of machine learning and generative AI, while the decline points to market corrections and cautious capital allocation. Despite this, healthcare and finance industries continue to expand AI integration for productivity gains. The US CHIPS and Science Act, 2022 aims to sustain innovation and competitiveness.
