Kevin Bryan: Student debt at graduation higher in Denmark, Norway, UK, Finland, Australia, Netherlands
Student debt higher outside U.S.

Student debt levels at graduation are higher in Denmark, Norway, UK, Finland, Australia, and the Netherlands compared to the U.S., according to Kevin Bryan. The tweet also indicates that Canada’s average student debt is nearly identical to that of the U.S.

Bryan points out differences in income-based repayment structures but emphasizes that U.S. university debt burdens are heavily influenced by 'low value Masters' programs and individuals who do not complete their degrees.

Bryan has previously highlighted that Canada's per capita GDP PPP growth trailed only Mexico and Luxembourg in the OECD last year. In a separate note, he discussed projections for moderate AI advances boosting GDP growth by 0.5–1% above trend by 2030. The recent observations on student debt add to his ongoing analysis of comparative economic indicators across regions.
