Fun With Stats

Wow. Who knew world stats could be such fun?

Be sure to change what stats are displayed on each axis by clicking on the drop downs on each axis. Click countries on the right to track them individually.

Do life expectancy on the Y-axis and population on the X-axis and choose Rwanda on the the right to see how a genocide can screw a country’s statistics up.

Do “Number of girls compared to boys in school” on the Y-axis and “Women as a percent of labor force” on the X-axis and choose a bunch of Middle Eastern countries. Iraq went backward while neighbors made progress over their respective data sets.

Last one: Do “Contraceptive Use” on the Y-axis and “Girls In School” or “Population” on the X-axis and choose Saudi Arabia on the right. Granted, there is only 4 years of data on the graph but what’s up with that plummet?
