OECD briefing note for Japan
نویسنده
چکیده
Over the past generations, Japan has shown that it is possible to achieve strong educational progress: In the 1960s, Japan still ranked 14 th among OECD countries in the proportion of people with university-level or vocational tertiary qualifications, today it ranks 2 nd just after Canada. However, in Japan, the number of science graduates remains below the OECD average. There are 1596 people with a tertiary science degree per 100,000 employed 25-to-34-year-olds in Japan, compared with an OECD average of 1675. This is mainly because of the low female participation. The number of female science graduates from tertiary education per 100,000 25-to-34-year-olds in employment in Japan is the lowest among OECD countries and much lower than that of males (573 against 2302) (Education at a Glance, 2007).

متن کاملRise in US spending on healthcare in 2009 was twice that in UK.
