Asia has become a major competitor of the United States and Western Europe in ed

Question

Asia has become a major competitor of the United States and Western Europe in education as well as economics. Here are counts of first university degrees in science and engineering in the three regions.

Direct comparison of counts of degrees would require us to take into account Asia's much larger population. We can, however, compare the distribution of degrees by field of study in the three regions. Do this using calculations and graphs, and write a brief summary of your findings. (Do this on paper. Your instructor may ask you to turn in this work. Round your answers to one decimal place.)

Summarize this data.

Western Europe and the U.S. are similar, while Asia has a much higher proportion of social science degrees.

All three distributions are very similar.    

All three distributions are very different.

Western Europe and Asia are similar, while the U.S. has a much higher percentage of social science degrees.

Region Field United States Western Europe Asia Engineering 62914 156702 282265 Natural science 113967 139457 242159 Social science 183680 116744 234404

Explanation / Answer

Please find below the table showing the percentages of the first university degree holders by country.

What we see that In Social Sciences Western europe and Asia are almost similar whereas US has a a very High Percentage.

We can also see that for the natural science the distributions are almost similar, but for Engineering, US is lower than the other 2 regions.

Region Field United States Western Europe Asia Engineering 17.45% 37.95% 37.20% Natural science 31.61% 33.77% 31.91% Social science 50.94% 28.27% 30.89% Total 100% 100% 100%
