Student financing & loans sit within Education, the sector building human capital — the slowest-moving but ultimately largest driver of long-run economic growth — a category with a real, cited scale: government expenditure on education is 3.57% of world GDP, 2023 (World Bank). Unlike 16 of the category's 20 items, student financing & loans have no institutional comparative tracker — no institution tracks this segment itself, and the closest candidates (SDG 4.b.1 scholarship flows, the PIAAC adult-skills survey) were judged too narrow a match to force — so it stays editorial judgment rather than institutionally sourced.
