Funding for Bafög, Germany'seducational scholarship system, reaches its most minimal point since the year 2000.
In Germany, the year 2024 was marked by two notable issues: a significant increase in domestic violence cases and a high number of e-scooter accidents.
Last year, Germany witnessed a surge in domestic violence, reaching an all-time high of approximately 256,942 reported victims. This represents a 3.7% rise compared to the previous year. Most victims are women, with around 73% of cases involving violence by partners or ex-partners. Experts suggest that many cases go unreported, implying the actual number could be much higher [1][2][3][4].
The rise in domestic violence has been linked to social crises and challenges, and there are calls for more prevention, perpetrator intervention, and improved police and judicial training.
Regarding e-scooter accidents, nearly 12,000 incidents were reported in 2024. Young people in big cities are particularly affected, and alcohol consumption often plays a role in these accidents [5][6][7][8]. The high number of accidents may suggest inadequate safety measures or regulations, and the actual number of accidents could be an underestimation due to underreporting [9][10].
Unfortunately, recent sources do not provide updated data on e-scooter accidents or Germany's public debt per capita as of 2025. However, in 2024, the public debt per capita was 30,062 euros, marking an increase of 669 euros compared to the previous year [11]. Large regional differences exist in Germany regarding public debt per capita, which could potentially lead to disparities in public services and infrastructure [12].
In conclusion, both domestic violence and e-scooter accidents pose challenges for Germany. The high number of reported cases in both areas could potentially strain resources and services. As more data becomes available, it will be crucial to address these issues and implement effective solutions to ensure the safety and well-being of all citizens.
