In 2004, Japan's investment in education was 17% of gdp, and dropped to 3.3% in 20 1 year, 3.5% in 20 12 year, 5.4% in 20 13 year and 4% in 20 14 year. Due to the aging population and the decreasing youth population, the proportion of education in Japan's gdp has been declining year by year. In the past hundred years, Japan has invested a lot of education funds every year and trained many talents. Today, 22 people in Japan have won the Nobel Prize with fruitful results. In 2004, Japan's total economic output was four times that of China, and its investment in education was 17% of GDP, while China's investment in education was more than 2% of GDP in the same period. If converted in this way, the total expenditure on education in Japan is equivalent to 34 times that in China. In 2004, Japanese population was 65.438+0.26 billion, and in 2002, China population was 65.438+0.28 billion. According to this ratio, Japanese per capita education expenditure is 340 times that of China.
