Facts about Globalization

More than Half are Online

Since its emergence, the Internet has grown at a rapid pace. More than 50 percent of the world's population use it today.

More than 4.5 billion people now use the Internet, according to estimates, and nearly 4 billion use social media. Facebook alone has more than 2.7 billion users.


High Speeds in Asia and Scandinavia

Taiwan and Singapore end up in first place when average download speeds are compared in various countries.

Germany is in 27th place, with less than a third of Taiwan's average download speed.


Global Unemployment

The projection for 2020 is 222 million unemployed. The actual figure will likely be significantly higher due to Covid 19.



Youth Unemployment

Despite high motivation and educational standards, youth unemployment continues to be a problem, even for OECD nations.

Southern European countries, including Spain and Greece, lag in this regard. In each case, more than one-third of young adults capable of working have no job.

IT as a Job Generator

It is not just the number of users that is rising rapidly, the number of employees in the information technology sector has grown significantly as well.
