Why Finland didn’t increase?
Scientists should trade the salaries with actors. Why the fuck do we live in a reality where clowns make 100 times more than people changing the world.
I’m sure it’ll still be an increase overall but since it’s a comparison to a decade ago, shouldn’t it take into account population growth in this time period as well. A countries population can grow 10%+ in a decade.
A per 100k stat or something would be nice.
Confusing graph. Using absolute numbers forced them to split the graph into two, due to widely different values. If they had used per capita numbers the graph would have been simpler and more informative.
Romania is the only one who decreased in any meaningful way. We also have the lowest share of GDP allocated to research in the entire EU. Oh, well, what can we expect from one of the most stupid politicians inside the bloc and a population that is one of the least educated.
