      Pretty interesting to see a broader context. You always see countries compared on one specific benchmark, but rarer to see this many metrics in a single infograph.

      1. Germany workers only work 30 hours a week??

      2… US has better educational scores than Germany, France and Italy?? If you buy Reddit, you’d assume all Americans are mumbling idiots

      And here we thought China was better at math this whole time.

      This data is not at all beautiful, put all numbers in black and highlight lowest and highest value in each row. This looks like a high schoolers presentation

      You should add color coding for the highest and lowest value in each category

      Someone want to remake this? Great graphic, would love to see India, Australia, and nordic countries

      Interesting that only UK has higher pisa scores, and I’m thinking not all their students take the Pisa tests.

      Very unpopular opinion—American public schools are very good, but since we have high rates of childhood poverty it doesn’t look that way. If a kid is hungry or doesn’t feel safe or doesn’t have stability they have a hard time succeeding in school. That’s not the schools’ fault.

      For Germany at least, i think the avarage weekly hours being so low is influenced by part-time work. I’ve rarely worked less than 38-40 hours a week

      Average schooling in Germany is 14.3? When the school system let’s you graduate after 9, 10 or 12/13 years depending on school form? Doesn’t seem right or the definition of schooling is different. Which would affect comparability.

      Absolutely cannot stand all the headlines about Chinese education system and the “US falling behind.”

      Most of us germans dont even know how valuable our life here is. We have the most hated chancelor ever and it feels like everyone hates everyone in politics, just a sad sight. No discussions are allowed and everybody thinks he´s/she´s right. Never thought we would get this dumb.

      Germany, average schooling 14.3 years? I’d argue that there’s a bug in that data.

      I wish Canada would make these lists. Surely we’re the closest analog?

    21. BrokkelPiloot on

      Democracy in the USA scores higher than Italy?! When was this list made??

      It’s important to remember some of these statistics are derived differently amongst countries.

      For example, the US counts extremely premature babies who die quickly after birth as live births, while many European countries count them as still births. That alone can account for roughly 30% of the difference between the US and Europe on infant mortality.

      It’s easy to say „US Bad,“ „China Bad,“ etc — but the truth is that the context around these numbers and how they’re reached often matters much more than the numbers themselves. So when you take 15 different metrics that are measured different ways in 7 different places, there’s limited value to be drawn from them.

      Most of the value likely comes from measuring change over time in a single country and comparing that to changes over time from other countries, not from using it as a report card for how each country is doing.

      How is Germany’s infectious disease rate so low compared to others? Are they doing something different compared to the EU and the world?

      I wonder how hours worked is calculated with a lot of people in school, part time, retired etc. does lower retirement age and shorter school mean less hours worked?

    26. saschaleib on

      It is an interesting comparison, but has a weird selection of metrics and countries – like GDP/Capita has little to do with “quality of life”, not even if adjusted to PPP. Also, why no Nordic countries?

      How does that pollution death rate make sense?

      Hasn’t the UK switched the vast majority of their really dirty energy to wind and other clean sources? They drive less, have less polluting cars, and cleaner energy production.

      Am I missing something?

    30. isanabanana on

      Interesting. I think policies should aim to improve metrics such as this rather than solely focus on economic growth.

    31. YamborginiLow on

      I wonder what Americans will do when Chinese living standards surpass their own with a lower GDP per capita.

    32. notproudortired on

      Most of these numbers vary wildly between rural and urban areas in both countries. Are they meaningful at all?
