Abstract
For almost a hundred years, two measurements have been used to get a sense of how well a country is doing. One is GDP, the other is its unemployment rate. But when it comes to figuring out how well a country is serving its citizens; these two might not be the only metrics to gauge a nations collective progress. On estimates of social progress, poorer countries often outdo their wealthier counterparts.
Social progress is not completely explained by economic variables like GDP data. It can show surprising relationships that help shape policy. One of the interesting ways these kinds of indexes are used is to see how countries have improved or declined – or just stayed the same. It can determine which countries get help with funding. And it may even be able to help predict the future.
Through our visualizations, we seek to utilize existing data to derive meaningful insights over how various socioeconomic factors have had an impact on development of different nations. Using graphical techniques in R, our dashboard will feature analysis on key indicators relating to financial, educational, gender, health, industry & demographic as well as attempt to highlight important variables which aid their growth.
