Started in 2012, Giving Tuesday, which takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, is a day which aims to encourage people to do good. Described as "a global generosity movement unleashing the power of radical generosity", the goal of Giving Tuesday is to encourage people to donate time or money or to use their voice for a good cause.

While generosity may seem like a complicated concept to quantify, for over a decade now, the Charities Aid Foundation has been providing an overview of generosity around the world with its World Giving Index. This international study examines populations in more than 100 countries according to three main aspects of generosity: charitable donations, volunteering and willingness to help strangers.

As in previous years, the most generous country is not one of the richest in the world. In 2024 Indonesia again tops the ranking, with a score of 74. The volunteer rate in the country (65 percent) is nearly three times higher than the global average (24 percent), and nine out of ten Indonesians made charitable donations in 2023 (year the data was collected). In second place among the most generous countries is Kenya, with a score of 63, while Singapore and the Gambia both obtained a score of 61.

This ranking, whose top 20 remains fairly similar from one year to the next, reflects certain religious and cultural characteristics. Notable examples include the influence of Islamic charity in certain Muslim countries such as Indonesia (with zakât, or ‘legal alms’), and that of Theravada Buddhism in Thailand (ranked 14th) and Myanmar (ranked 19th), an ancient branch of Buddhism that values offerings and charitable donations. Anglo-Saxon and Protestant countries, with their long tradition of philanthropy, are also well represented.

Today is World AIDS Day, observed under the theme ‘Overcoming disruption, transforming the AIDS response’. The HIV response faces ongoing challenges as disruptions to life-saving services increase risks for many communities. In 2024, an estimated 40.8 million people were living with HIV globally, 1.3 million people acquired HIV, and 630,000 people died from HIV-related causes. The day highlights the continued need for sustained political leadership, international cooperation, and human-rights-centered approaches to achieve the goal of ending AIDS by 2030

Today is Black Friday — the day after Thanksgiving and one of the biggest moments in U.S. retail. Statista Consumer Insights shows that Gen Z is leading the charge: three in four were likely to buy something last year, while older generations tend to focus more on Cyber Monday.
Deloitte data highlights another divide: Millennials are the most likely to use credit cards or BNPL to finance holiday deals, while only 55% of Boomers do the same. Still, spending keeps rising. Average per-consumer spending between Thanksgiving and Cyber Monday is expected to reach around $650, continuing a trend of strong growth since 2019.
Holiday foot traffic is growing too. Around 200 million people shopped the five-day period last year, with Black Friday as the peak. This year, nearly 60% of U.S. adults say they’re likely to shop again — with clothing, electronics and shoes topping the expected deal categories.

For most Americans, Thanksgiving is all about the family. Towards the end of a turbulent year, people are looking forward to putting politics aside and enjoying a good meal with their loved ones. After all, a recent YouGov survey found that Thanksgiving is America's second favorite holiday, trailing only Christmas in popularity.

According to data from Statista Consumer Insights, 79 percent of U.S. adults plan to celebrate Thanksgiving with family this year, compared to just 30 percent who will cut the Turkey with friends. When asked what Thanksgiving is all about, spending time with family is also the number 1 answer, followed closely by "being thankful", the original and literal meaning of the popular holiday.

Today is Thanksgiving in the United States 🦃
Thanksgiving traces its origins to the early 17th century, when settlers and Indigenous communities marked the end of the harvest season with a shared meal. Today, it remains one of the most significant U.S. holidays, centered around food, family gatherings, and travel.

While consumer prices for many Thanksgiving staples have fluctuated in recent years, the holiday continues to be a major driver of seasonal spending across grocery retail, hospitality, and transportation.

Gewalt gegen Frauen ist bis heute eine der am weitesten verbreiteten Menschenrechtsverletzungen. Laut einer Studie von WHO und Vereinten Nationen wird fast jede dritte Frau im Laufe ihres Lebens zum Opfer von Partnerschafts- oder sexueller Gewalt – ein Wert, der sich zudem seit der Jahrtausendwende kaum verändert hat. Auch in der EU ist geschlechter-spezifische Gewalt weit verbreitet. Auch hier wurden mehr als 30 Prozent der Frauen im Alter von 18 bis 74 Jahren schon einmal Opfer von Gewalt. Das geht aus einer EU-weiten Befragung von mehr als 110.000 Frauen hervor, die zwischen 2021 und 2024 von Eurostat und der EU Agency for Fundamental Rights durchgeführt wurde. Demnach wurden 30,7 Prozent der befragten Frauen Opfer von Gewalt und/oder Gewaltandrohung, 17,7 Prozent erfuhren physische Gewalt durch den eigenen Partner.

Wie unsere Grafik zeigt, gibt es innerhalb der EU signifikante Unterschiede in der Verbreitung von Gewalt gegen Frauen. Während der Anteil der Frauen, die schon einmal Opfer von Gewalt wurden, in Finnland, Schweden, Ungarn und Dänemark besonders hoch ist, scheint geschlechter-spezifische Gewalt in Bulgarien, Polen, Portugal und Tschechien weniger weit verbreitet zu sein. In Deutschland wurden laut der Studie 25,6 Prozent der befragten Frauen Opfer von Gewalt. Bei all diesen Zahlen gilt es jedoch zu bedenken, dass die Dunkelziffer vermutlich höher ist. So gehen die Studienmacher davon aus, dass einige Opfer sich trotz Zusicherung von Vertraulichkeit scheuen, offen über ihre Gewalterfahrungen zu sprechen.

According to the Georgetown Institute 2025/26 Women Peace and Security Index, women's safety and security was least guaranteed in countries like Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, Haiti, Sudan and the Central African Republic. Beyond such drastic examples, the publication also gave bad grades concerning women's safety to large swathes of Africa as well as parts of the Middle East, South Asia and Central America.

The index employs a broad perspective on women's security, not only analyzing the incidence of violence against women and prevalence of discrimination, but also women's independence, taking the view that women who are educated, employed and autonomous are much safer from violence. Overall, Asia and Africa were identified as the least safe places for women. In Latin America, Mexico, Colombia, Guatemala and Honduras stuck out as places that are especially dangerous. In Europe, Balkan and some other Eastern European nations fared worse than the continents' average. In Asia, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Myanmar and Papua New Guinea were also among those receiving the worst grades.

The global artificial intelligence market is set to expand considerably over the next five years. Valued at nearly $260 billion in 2025, according to estimates published in October by Statista Market Insights, the market is projected to surge to over $1,200 billion by 2030, reflecting a fourfold increase. This anticipated explosion underscores AI's increasing integration across industries, driven by advancements in algorithms, infrastructure and sustained massive investments in research and development.

As detailed in our chart, machine learning and natural language processing (computers and human language interaction) are the biggest segments of the AI market. They account together for more than half of its size and are expected to remain equally important by 2030. In addition, AI robotics, natural language processing and computer vision are considered the most dynamic areas, with all three projected to grow faster than the market average over the next five years. These sectors are anticipated to experience a boom fueled by the rising adoption of AI-driven solutions in enterprise, healthcare and consumer markets.

In 2025, the number of threatened species identified by the International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources stood at over 18,000. But while animals like critically endangered orangutans or humpback dolphins are getting a lot of attention, the share of threatened mammal species stood at only 7 percent of all threatened animals.

Mammals represented 14 percent of all threatened animals species (defined by the as species listed as either critically endangered, endangered or vulnerable on the Red List) in 2007. Between 2007 and 2025, animal classes with a growing share in endangered species counts included reptiles, insects, fish and molluscs (a class including snails, slugs, mussels, squid and worms), while amphibian endangerment remained at a high level. Almost every fourth endangered species in the world in 2025 is a fish.

While the reasons for the endangerment of insects and fish are well known and include overfishing, pesticide use and monoculture, less is written about threats to reptiles and molluscs. According to the IUCN, many reptile species are concentrated in rainforest regions and are therefore threatened by deforestation. Furthermore, the species are particularly sensitive to environmental changes, including climate change. With molluscs, endangered species are mainly those who live on land and in freshwater. They are threatened by habitat destruction or are being pushed out by invasive species, according to the American Institute of Biological Sciences.

November 25 is the UN International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. 50,000 women and girls were estimated to have been killed by intimate partners or family members worldwide in 2024, according to a new report by the UNODC and UN Women. This corresponds to an average of 137 victims every day. While men accounted for 80 percent of global homicide victims in 2024, women and girls remained disproportionately affected in the home, with 60 percent of all intentionally killed women losing their lives at the hands of partners or relatives. UN estimates show that gender-based violence affects every region. Africa recorded the highest number of intimate partner/family femicides in 2024 at 22,600 cases, as well as the highest risk level, with 3 victims per 100,000 female population. Asia followed in absolute numbers with 17,400 victims, while the Americas recorded the second-highest relative risk at 1.5 per 100,000. Researchers highlight that these figures are estimates and that data availability has sharply declined, with the number of reporting countries halving between 2020 and 2023. The UN defines gender-related killings as intentional killings driven by gender-related factors, including male entitlement, social norms surrounding masculinity, and efforts to assert control, enforce gender roles or punish perceived unacceptable female behavior. Although women are far less likely than men to be homicide victims overall, they face a disproportionate risk of deadly violence in the private sphere. While 80 percent of homicide victims are male, men are rarely killed by someone close to them. In contrast, 60 percent of female homicide victims globally in 2024 were killed by partners or family members. According to UNODC estimates, the share of intimate partner/family femicides among all intentional killings of women and girls was even higher in Oceania (74 percent) and Africa (67 percent). Femicides frequently represent the culmination of repeated episodes of gender-based violence and are therefore preventable through timely intervention. The UN estimates that 50,000 women and girls were killed by intimate partners or family members in 2024—an average of 137 every day.

While it is still most common for children under the age of 18 to be living with two biological parents in the United States, as many as nearly four in ten children live in a different kind of family constellation. This is according to 2022 U.S. Census Bureau’s Current Population Survey data, analyzed by the Washington Post.

As the following chart shows, 62.9 of under 18 year olds were recorded as living with both biological parents in 2022. The second most common family for children was living with a single biological parent, accounting for one in four children and after that, the combination of one biological parent and a stepparent (5.1 percent). Close to four percent of children that year were living without a parent, whether biological, adoptive or a stepparent.

According to the Post, same-sex couples are far more likely to adopt. Native American adults also had a higher likelihood of adopting children than other groups.
