Dutch Economy At a Glance [Infographic]

We live in a world shaped by an increasingly complex economic system. As a consequence, it has become more and more important for people to know what is going on around them. However, finding and processing the relevant information to do this has become more difficult as well, due to the increased complexity and information overload. In reaction to this, we have published a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world. 

The following infographic shows the Dutch economy at a glance. It is the sixth-largest economy in the European Union and plays an important role as a European transportation hub. Furthermore, Holland is the world's fifth largest exporter. The country owes 70 percent of its gross national product to export. The highly mechanized agricultural sector in the Netherlands employs only 2% of the labor force but provides large surpluses for food-processing and underpins the country’s status as the world’s second largest agricultural exporter. What is also worthy to note is that more than half of the Dutch working population works part time, a far greater share than in any other rich-world country. Take a closer look below:

Australian Economy At a Glance [Infographic]

Our world is shaped by an increasingly complex economic system. As a result, it has become more and more important for people to know what is going on around them. Unfortunately, finding and processing the relevant information to do this has become more difficult as well, due to the increased complexity and information overload. In reaction to this issue, we have been working on a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world. 

The following infographic shows the Australian economy at a glance. As a powerful and solid economy, it was comparatively unaffected by the global financial crisis. Its banking system has remained relatively strong and inflation is still under control. Furthermore, Australia is a significant exporter of natural resources, energy, and food. Not least because of its close ties to the fast-growing markets of Asia. In addition to that, it has a highly skilled and well-educated workforce. Over half the working age population in Australia has a qualification of some kind. Take a closer look below:

German Economy At a Glance [Infographic]

We live in a globalized world that is shaped by an increasingly complex economic system. Hence, it has become more and more important for people to know what is going on around them. However, finding and processing the relevant information to do this has become more difficult as well, due to the increased complexity and information overload. In reaction to this issue, we have been working on a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world. 

The next infographic shows the German economy at a glance. It is Europe's largest economy and the worlds fifth largest (in PPP terms). Thanks to a highly skilled labor force and high quality products such as machinery, vehicles, chemicals, and household equipment, Germany has become the 3rd largest exporter worldwide. As a result, employment is projected to reach an all-time high in the near future. Take a look:

Indian Economy At a Glance [Infographic]

Our globalized world is shaped by an increasingly complex economic system. As a result, it has become more and more important for people to know what is going on around them. Unfortunately, finding and processing the relevant information to do just that has become more difficult as well, due to the increased complexity and information overload. In reaction to this issue, we have been working on a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world. 

This infographic shows the Indian economy at a glance. India has a productive economy with high growth rates. It is developing into an open-market economy, yet traces of its past autarkic policies still remain. In 2014, slightly less than half of India's workforce (49%) was in agriculture. Nevertheless, services were the major source of economic growth, accounting for nearly two-thirds of India's output with less than one-third of its labor force (31%). Meanwhile, the industrial sector employed the remaining 20% of India's labor force. Despite the fact that it is counted among the most important emerging economies of the world today, employment conditions in the country still remain poor. Take a look:

Canada's Economy At a Glance [Infographic]

We live in a globalized world with an increasingly complex economic system. Hence, it has become more and more important for people to know what is going on around them. However, finding and processing the relevant information to do just that has become more difficult as well, due to the increased complexity and information overload. In an attempt to tackle this issue, we have been working on a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world. 

The next infographic shows Canada's economy at a glance. Canada has a powerful economy with a GDP in the trillion-dollar class. It resembles the US in many aspects, such as its market-orientation, pattern of production, and living standards. In recent years, the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors have grown significantly, which has transformed the country from a mostly rural into a more industrial and urban economy. As a result, it has been able to perform relatively well despite the challenging global economic environment, outperforming most other countries in job creation over the recovery. Take a look:

UK Economy At a Glance [Infographic]

As you may know, we have recently started working on a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world (see also: US Economy At a Glance). The idea behind this is to provide easy access to relevant information in an increasingly complex global economic system. 

The second infographic shows the UK economy at a glance. The United Kingdom is the third largest economy in Europe (after Germany and France). It is considered a leading trading power and financial center. Services, in particular banking, insurance, and business services are the key drivers of British GDP. The UK economy has performed relatively well over the last few years, which resulted in record-breaking employment levels. However, exports and investments have not picked up accordingly. Take a look:

US Economy at a Glance [Infographic]

We live in a globalized world where virtually all countries interact with each other. As a result the economy has become increasingly complex. Despite this (or perhaps just because of it), it is important to know what is going on in the world around you. After all, well-informed citizens make better decisions. 

However, being an informed citizen is easier said than done these days. We are confronted with so much information through the media and the internet that finding and processing relevant information has become quite a challenge. In other words, we face an information overload.

In reaction to this we have started working on a series of infographics that illustrate the most important facts and figures about the economies of various countries all over the world. The first graphic shows the US economy at a glance. The US has the most technologically powerful economy in the world. Many US firms are at or near the forefront in technological advances, especially when it comes to computers, medical, aerospace, and military equipment. Thus, the potential economic gains from trade for the US are far from exhausted. In addition to that in 2014 the unemployment rate declined at its most rapid rate in nearly three decades.
