As countries start to develop, more attention on Social Economic factors begin to be discusses in greater detail. In fact, the discussion of Social Economics may be deemed as a privilege of developed countries, as developing countries continue to battle more fundamental economic factors like Gross Domestic Product, Population Growth, Education and so on. Social Economics, as defined, is the study of social phenomenon that make up the society at large. These include topics of discussions, a few of which are listed below:

For our project, we would be focusing on Feminism and Women Equality as a case study for the visual application developed using the World Development Indicators database. In line with the topic, there are many controversial topics of discussions. Such include the Gender Pay Gap, the Patriarchy, Abortion (Women's health care rights), etc, with the liberal impression that Women in developed countries are still suppressed into sub-leading roles, and that society is inherently "male" dominant.
 
 
 
Our group hopes to dispel this theory with factual statistics, and as such, change the mindsets of women to "break" out of the "self-victimization" mentality, which has been recognized by groups of Conservative Physiologist as the stumbling block to Gender equality and progression.
 
 
 
We hope use the application developed to study the development of gender rights across time and countries, identify countries with gender inequality, and observe correlations (if any) between gender equality and development of a country.

REPORT

Issues and Problems

World Development Indicators (WDI) database is an extensive and holistic compilation of data by the World Bank on global development.
It covers 20 topics with more than 1,300 time series development indicators featuring 214 nations and 38 country group consist of 7,902,367 data points.

The main challenge here is to provide a holistic visual dashboard to allow students, policymakers, analysts and officials to perform proper analyse and provide insights out of the data points available.

Our group is motivated to use the application developed to study the World Development Indicators across time and countries and observe correlations (if any) between the topics or indicators selected.
Therefore, the main objective of the team is to explore a new visualization method to provide a holistic view of the WDI database using a single visual graphical representation.

Review and Critics of Past Works

No Ceilings - Visual representation of woman rights

No Ceilings is home to 850,000 data points, spanning more than 20 years, from over 190 countries showing insights of woman rights through various form of data visualization. This website provides a good resource of idea the different visualization technique that could be used for time-series level indicators.


Global Gender Gap Report - A Story Visualization

Global Gender Gap Report provides a very creative and interesting way to understand the graphical data presented in a story like manner. The story is through scrolling down the web page through different topic covered. At each section interval, interactivity filters are available for users to perform other form of analysis.


Gender Pay Gap - By Job Role

Simple 1 level visualization of gender pay gap by job role. A summarized view of the gender different for each job role across the year over a time-series scatter plot representation. This is another visual form that the time-series indicators can be presented.
