When it comes to investments, Austria relies very heavily on its dual education system, which means employee training (1st place ranking) and very effective implementation of training programs (3rd). At the same time, Austria invests strongly in its educational system (6th in terms of expenditures in education per pupil), thus ensuring the high quality (7th in the pupil-teacher ratio) of its educational systems. Austria is also very successful in luring and retaining talents, and is rated fifth globally in this area by IMD.
