💼 Female Labour Force Participation in India Grew by 18%

India’s female labour force participation rose by 18%  from 2017 to  2023, marking a steady climb in women’s economic engagement. The rise signals progress toward gender equality, with more women entering both formal jobs and entrepreneurial roles. Increased access to higher education and vocational training has supported this shift. Initiatives such as the National Education Policy 2020 aim to further empower women by improving equitable access to quality education and skills.

🍃 Solar PV Led Germany's Renewable Workforce With >150K Jobs

Germany is one of the fastest-growing European countries in renewable energy production, with solar power leading the global renewable sector and wind energy expanding rapidly. The German solar market has doubled in 2023 compared to 2022, driving strong workforce growth that outpaces other renewable sectors. However, an aging workforce poses challenges, prompting government efforts to attract young talent into STEM-related renewable fields. The newly approved €500B infrastructure fund demonstrates Germany’s commitment to strengthening its workforce and achieving ambitious climate goals.

As AI integration deepens across sectors, initiatives such as the EU’s Artificial Intelligence Act aim to ensure safe and transparent deployment of AI technologies worldwide.
