17 April 2025 33 years of export surplus in trade with the United States

The threat by the United States to impose additional tariffs on goods from the European Union (EU) is partly due to the US government's critical stance on Europe's export surplus. With the largest national economy in the EU, Germany has indeed exported more goods to the United States than it has imported from there for 33 years. 1991 was the last year in which an import surplus was recorded.

Microcensus

In the period from January to December, a total of 1% of Germany's population in private households and collective living quarters will be selected using random sampling and the residents surveyed. The results of the microcensus provide the general public, policy-makers and the scientific community with a wide range of information on life in Germany. They serve as an important basis for policy decisions that affect the lives of many people.

Teacher shortage is a challenge facing many schools, and information on teacher training is therefore highly relevant to educational policy discussions. What analyses regarding enrolment in teacher training degree programmes are possible based on higher education statistics? What data are available on student withdrawal, changes of the degree programme and completion of teacher training? An article in the current issue (2/2025) of our scientific WISTA journal describes the analytical opportunities offered by the new study pathway statistics, which support the evaluation of teacher training in Germany.
