International Comparison
Globalization has already become a fact. The question is no longer whether to act globally but rather how good we are at it. International comparison can offer important orientation.
The comparison shows: Overall, Germany is well positioned for the future. However, we must work even harder to further improve and sustainably strengthen our position in international competition in the long run.
If you are interested in key figures from education and research in an international comparison, you will find relevant data in this section.
You can, for instance, compare the proportion of staff employed in research and development in different countries or the share of the respective GDP invested in research and development by these countries.
On the subject of education, for example, you can see in which disciplines educational paths are completed. But you can also compare which educational qualifications are achieved and see where there is still potential to improve educational opportunities for young people. This benefits each and every individual and society as a whole. After all, Germany needs a well trained and educated workforce to face the challenges of the future.
