Return shipping not only has a high economic cost but also has an environmental impact and carries logistical implications. According to survey data from Statista Consumer Insights, many Europeans are in the habit of returning the products they buy online. This is especially true in Germany and the United Kingdom, where 50 percent or more of respondents said they had returned at least one item purchased online in the 12 months prior to the survey.

This practice appears to be even more widespread among Indian and Chinese consumers, with 81 percent and 66 percent of them, respectively, reporting having returned a product purchased online in the last year.

USAID’s website went dark over the weekend, and employees were put on leave as Elon Musk claimed Monday that Trump wanted to shut down the agency. Speaking on his government task force, the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk suggested major USAID cuts. Reports indicate the agency may be absorbed into the State Department, with key programs—health, infrastructure, and disaster relief—facing reductions.

USAID disbursed nearly $44 billion in 2023, with $16 billion to Ukraine—over 60% of U.S. foreign aid. It funds economic aid, while military assistance falls under State and Defense. Other top recipients included Ethiopia, Jordan, Afghanistan, and Somalia. U.S. aid spans Latin America, Africa, Asia, and Europe, with military aid concentrated in the Middle East.

A December 2024 survey by Ipsos found that more than half of U.S. adults don't know what a tariff is. Only 45% correctly identified it as a tax on imports paid by importing companies and partially passed on to consumers. Meanwhile, 17% chose the incorrect but widely circulated notion, popularized by President Trump, that exporting countries pay tariffs to the importing nation. Other incorrect answers included trade agreements imposing fees and consumer-paid subsidies to domestic producers, while 23% admitted they didn’t know the correct definition.

Tariffs have been central to President Trump's economic agenda, both on the campaign trail and in his administration’s early weeks. Recently, he outlined plans to impose tariffs on pharmaceuticals, semiconductors, steel, and related industries. He has suggested various tariff rates over time, most recently proposing levies of over 10% on imports from Canada, Mexico, and China, as reported by CNN.

Meta reported better-than-expected earnings on Wednesday, alongside record capital expenditures of $14.8 billion in Q4 2024 and $39.2 billion for the full year. The company expects to spend up to $65 billion in 2025 to expand AI infrastructure and staffing—potentially a 130% increase over two years. Microsoft and Amazon have also announced major investments in data centers, with Microsoft planning to spend $80 billion and Amazon surpassing its initial estimate of $75 billion.

While Meta is best known for its work in virtual reality and the metaverse, its open-source AI model, Llama, sets it apart from competitors. Unlike other AI companies, Meta does not rely on traditional licensing for revenue but offers commercial licenses for broader use cases. By keeping Llama open-source, Meta benefits from external contributions at a lower cost while attracting top AI talent. The company hopes this approach will make Llama a standard in AI development, strengthening its position in the field amid rising competition.

Meta reported strong fourth-quarter and full-year earnings, surpassing expectations despite significant investments in AI and Reality Labs, which focuses on virtual/augmented reality and the metaverse. While AI has driven increased capital expenditure, with further growth expected in 2025, Reality Labs continues to lose money. In 2024, its operating loss hit a record $17.7 billion, bringing the total losses over the past six years to nearly $70 billion. However, the division generated just $2.1 billion in revenue, showing the challenges in achieving profitability in these emerging sectors.

Mark Zuckerberg views 2025 as a critical year for Meta's long-term projects, particularly AI and AR/VR. He emphasized that the success of AI glasses could determine whether the company moves toward widespread adoption or faces ongoing struggles. Zuckerberg also outlined how Meta plans to fund these investments, focusing on AI to boost revenue growth, improve ad targeting, and enhance content engagement. Despite the financial risk, Meta’s strong profits from its Family of Apps division allow it to continue funding these ambitious initiatives.

An aging population represents a major challenge for many countries around the world. Falling birth rates coupled with rising life expectancies are likely to place significant pressure on labor markets, healthcare and pension systems. OECD data reveals how a number of countries are facing particularly rapid aging. Where the number of retirees for every 100 workers already stood at more than 55 in Japan and 41 in Italy in 2022, projections say this could hit 81 and 74 by 2050.

The challenges posed by such demographic changes will affect a growing number of countries in the coming decades, including China and the United States, whose populations currently remain younger than those of the other nations on this chart. China as well as South Korea are the two nation's suspected to make the fastest transitions to an aging society. While China is suffering from the legacy of the one-child policy that did not foresee demographic change in China happening as quickly and drastically, South Korea is experiencing one of the lowest fertility rates in the world, partially explained by economic challenges for the younger generation in a society that remains traditionally stratified and especially hard to navigate for women.

In 2023, trade with Mexico, China, and Canada made up 43% of U.S. goods imports. The U.S. imported $3.2 trillion and exported $2.0 trillion, with Canada receiving 18% and Mexico 16% of exports. Top imports from Mexico include vehicles, electronics, and machinery, while Canada exports mineral fuels, vehicles, and machinery. The U.S. exports mineral fuels, soybeans, and machinery to China and electronic equipment, machinery, and vehicles to Mexico and Canada.

The U.S. also trades services, running a surplus with nearly $1 trillion in exports and $700 billion in imports in 2022. Major service buyers include Ireland, the U.K., and Canada, while top suppliers are the U.K., Germany, and Japan. Trade policy remains a focus, with Trump proposing tariffs of 25% on Canada and Mexico and 10–60% on Chinese goods, some possibly taking effect by February 1.

Lunar New Year, celebrated in China, Vietnam, and South Korea, begins on January 29, marking the Year of the Snake in China. While January 1 is a public holiday there, it pales in comparison to the week-long Chinese New Year festivities. Around the world, new years are celebrated almost every two months. In July, Muslim countries welcomed 1446 AH on the Islamic calendar, which is 14 days shorter than the Gregorian year. Many regional new years follow lunar calendars, shifting dates yearly, but the Islamic year is the only one that moves across all months of the Gregorian calendar.

Saudi Arabia only permitted January 1 fireworks in 2021. In Uzbekistan, the Persian New Year Nowruz in March is preferred over the Soviet-era January 1 celebration. Nowruz is also the main festival in Iran and Afghanistan and is celebrated as the "Spring Festival" in Central Asia. In Southeast Asia, January 1 coexists with Songkran, now set to fixed Gregorian dates. India observes various Hindu new years in March and April, while January 1 remains widely celebrated.

Chinese company DeepSeek has shaken the AI market with its R1 model, developed for just $6 million—far less than rivals like OpenAI’s ChatGPT or Google’s Gemini. Despite the lower cost, R1 delivers competitive performance, causing Nvidia’s stock to drop 17% and the Nasdaq to fall 3%. The model challenges industry norms by achieving quality results with fewer or less advanced chips.

DeepSeek-R1 also offers a significant pricing edge, with token processing costs far below competitors. Uploading 1 million tokens costs $0.55, compared to $3–$5 for U.S. models like OpenAI’s. While some rivals, such as xAI’s Grok and Google’s Gemini, have larger output capabilities or specialized features, R1’s strong performance and affordability position it as a game-changer in the AI landscape.

When asked about the actual impact of DEI practices at the workplace, Americans surveyed by Pew Research Center broadly agreed that the programs work in so far as they help groups that have historically been disadvantaged. More than 50 percent of respondents said that DEI practices help Black women, Black men and Hispanic women in the workplace, while just under 50 percent of respondents think that DEI programs help Hispanic men and Asian women. Opinions are slightly more mixed, though still positive overall with respect to Asian men and white women, where 40 and 30 percent said that the effect of DEI initiatives was positive versus 15 and 23 percent, who described the effect as negative.

The only group for which more respondents saw negative effects is white men, who 36 percent of respondents saw negatively affected by DEI policies versus 14 percent who saw positive effects for this group and 34 percent who saw neither positive nor negative effects. Unsurprisingly, white adults were much more likely than the overall respondents to say that DEI practices hurt white women and men, while the same was true for Republicans compared to Democrats. While 56 percent of Republicans said that DEI programs hurt white men, just 19 percent of Democrats said the same.

As Lunar New Year's celebration are kicking off in China, Korea and around the globe, people are checking their Chinese Zodiac sign. Different to those in Western astrology, Chinese Zodiac signs are tied to birth years and not months. However, anyone trying to determine their Chinese sign should be aware that people born in January or February might need to refer to the previous year of the Gregorian calendar because the Chinese year begins and ends with the new year celebration that is held in late January or early February. In 2025, the new year will begin on Jan. 29.

Babies born on this date or later in 2025 and early 2026 will be born in the year of the snake - a sign associated with wisdom, adaptability, and prosperity.

The twelve Chinese animal signs that return every twelve years originate from a Chinese folk tale, according to ChineseNewYear.net. In it, the Jade Emperor was charged with picking twelve animals as palace guards. The rat was first in line getting to the palace, followed by the ox, and so on. Each of the signs represents a different character, like in Western astrology. The practice is around 3,000 years old and therefore predates its Western counterpart, which clocks in at around 2,000 years old.

Five years ago, the Covid-19 pandemic marked a dramatic shift in workplace dynamics, as working from home suddenly became the norm for millions of workers in the United States and across the globe. This transformation offered employees newfound flexibility, enabling them to manage their time more effectively, eliminate commutes, facilitate childcare and often achieve a better work-life balance. Remote work also allowed for a customized work environment, fostering comfort and productivity for many.

However, traditional office settings continue to hold unique advantages, which is why more and more employers have started to call their workers back to offices for most days of the week. Offices facilitate in-person collaboration, spontaneous brainstorming, and social interaction, all of which are challenging to replicate virtually. Additionally, the structured environment of an office can provide clearer boundaries between work and personal life, reducing distractions and helping employees switch off when at home.

In many cases, hybrid models combining the benefits of both setups have emerged, catering to diverse employee preferences and living situations and striking a balance between the benefits and disadvantages of both working from home and in the office. According to Statista Consumer Insights, 1 in 5 American employees currently work from home regularly, while 41 percent of respondents regularly work in a company office.

Edelman has released its annual Trust Barometer, offering a global snapshot of trust in today’s leaders. The findings are concerning, with around seven in ten respondents across 28 countries believing that government and business leaders, as well as journalists, are intentionally misleading the public through false statements or exaggerations. Distrust is particularly pronounced toward journalists, though only slightly more so than for other groups. Alarmingly, this sentiment has grown significantly since 2021, with an 11-12 percentage point increase across all groups.

The survey also highlights a trust gap between income groups. While 63 percent of high-income respondents expressed trust in business, government, media, and NGOs, only 48 percent of low-income respondents felt the same. Scientists and teachers emerged as the most trusted voices, with 77 and 75 percent of respondents believing they would do what is right. The findings are based on responses from over 32,000 people across 28 countries.

The pro-tax advocacy group Patriotic Millionaires recently highlighted a survey conducted by Survation, which sampled over 2,000 respondents across G20 countries. The findings reveal that the majority view extreme wealth concentration as a threat to democracy, contributing to declining trust in both the media and the justice system. Additionally, an open letter from 370 ultra-wealthy individuals urges world leaders to address the harm caused by extreme wealth concentration and to "draw the line" to protect democracies.

Global wealth inequality continues to widen, with the richest individuals amassing unprecedented fortunes while billions struggle to make ends meet. Recent reports and data reveal stark contrasts in wealth distribution, highlighting the growing divide between the ultra-wealthy and the rest of the population. From the soaring fortunes of a few to the shrinking share of assets held by the poorest, these findings underscore the urgent need for action to address economic disparities.

World Cancer Day draws attention to the need for continued research and effective prevention strategies to reduce the global burden of cancer. Looking at the United States specifically, incidence rates have remained relatively stable over the last few decades, while mortality has been declining steadily since the mid-90's - a clear indication of the impact that early detection and state-of-the-art treatment can have. Advances in immunotherapies and personalised medicine, as well as broader awareness and screening efforts, continue to improve patient outcomes. However, sustained investment in research, greater access to innovative care and collaboration between healthcare providers, policymakers and local communities are essential to further reduce cancer-related deaths worldwide. #statista #infographics #empoweringpeoplewithdata

While the share of women in major categories like Song of the Year and Best New Artist has been steadily increasing year after year, female producers remain significantly underrepresented.

For the first time, Statista and media partner Newsweek recognize the leading private hospitals across Latin America in select procedures within the specialties of orthopedics and ophthalmology. The ranking features a focused list for each of five select procedures: knee surgery & knee replacement, hip surgery & hip replacement, shoulder surgery, refractive eye surgery, and cataract surgery. The lists are based on an international survey collecting peer recommendations from medical experts within the two specialties, accreditation/certification data pertinent to the country and procedures, and the Statista PROMS Implementation Survey (included for orthopedic procedures only). A total of 118 hospitals in 8 countries (Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Brazil, Mexico, and Peru) are featured across the five lists. #statista #empoweringpeoplewithdata

Today, European Data Protection Day highlights the importance of safeguarding personal data. The increasing prevalence of cyberattacks underscores the urgent need for effective measures to protect sensitive information and ensure trust and security in the digital age. In 2023, Russia ranked first in the world by data breach density. The number of breached e-mail accounts per thousand people in the country amounted to 542. The United States ranked second, with 285 user accounts, while Czechia followed, with 207 accounts. The data breach density in Denmark, Switzerland, and Italy was relatively lower. #statista #infographics #empoweringpeoplewithdata

2024 was the warmest year on record since 1850, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and other international climate research institutions, surpassing the 2023 record by 0.10 degrees Celsius. In 2023, Earth’s average land and ocean surface temperature was 1.28 degrees Celsius above the 20th-century average of 13.9 degrees Celsius. Notably, the 10 warmest years since 1850 have all occurred in the past decade, highlighting the rapid pace of global warming. Global temperatures in 2024 exceeded the pre-industrial average (1850–1900) by 1.46 degrees Celsius, nearing the 1.5-degree threshold set in the Paris Agreement. While short-term breaches of this limit, influenced by factors like El Niño, do not signify a failure to meet the agreement’s goals, they serve as early warnings of approaching the long-term limit. Scientists emphasize that sustained temperature increases must be evaluated over decades to understand their full impact. #statista #infographics #empoweringpeoplewithdata

Unless the Supreme Court intervenes, TikTok plans to shut down its app for U.S. on Sunday, due to a federal ban. The situation stems from a law requiring TikTok's Chinese owner, ByteDance, to divest U.S. assets. TikTok argues the law violates free speech and is seeking a delay, while preparing pop-ups to inform users and let them download their data. Nonetheless, a Pew Research Center survey of 10,658 U.S. adults reveals that public support for a TikTok ban has declined significantly since March 2023, dropping from 50% to 32%. Additionally, support among those who don’t use TikTok has sharply decreased from 60% to 42%, while among TikTok users, it has fallen from 19% to just 10% over the same period. #statista #infographics #empoweringpeoplewithdata
