Why is this distributed like this?

Actually, according to this graph there is no such decline. Literacy went up in half of the countries and down in the other half. It's a wash. Probably in the noise. And numeracy went up overall, so more people can read graphs.

From a Nordic perspective this looks quite good. Is it the focus on work-life balance, the positive engagement with fitness or maybe something else.

I have a doubt, if the Nordic coutries were supposed to be almost perfect 15 years ago, how is it possible that they have improved so mucho now? They should have not enough room to improve if they were already perfect.

Amazing insights, @tejparikh_ft! AI is evolving fast, but the human brain is still the best untapped resource in the world. We believe the next era isn’t about machines replacing us—it’s about us unlocking our full cognitive potential. The Brain Revolution is here.

It's so painfully obvious. But seeing this graph really illustrates the severity.
