Well, this is a development..?
Visualizing HDI Through Gender
CLIENT: Self, Academic
UTILIZES: Data analysis, Data visualization | Python, Processing, P5.js, Illustrator, InDesign
YEAR: 2024
OVERVIEW:
This project explores data gathered from the United Nations HDI dataset. Using the full HDI dataset, I pulled 11 factors used in measuring HDI that specifically measure quality of life for females. This data measures factors across 195 countries for 31 years.
Through my experimentation with this data, I became interested in exploring the differences in quality of life between males and females globally. The following work is divided in layers of exploration. I have arranged them starting from the latest layer down to the very first instance of exploration.
Layer 3: Multi-frame
P5 Interactive Plot
In this interactive plot, we can see both the change of HDI over the years for any one country and begin to understand that country’s gender gap.
Females (represented by O) consistently have lower HDI values than their male counterparts (represented by X).
Toggle through the different countries using the dropdown menu to see how countries compare. Hover over the Os and Xs to see what the exact HDI value is for that year.

Data: Human Development Index (HDI)
The Human Development Index (HDI) is a summary measure of average achievement in key dimensions of human development:
a long and healthy life, being knowledgeable and having a decent standard of living.
Using the full HDI dataset from the United Nations, I pulled 11 factors used in measuring HDI that specifically measure quality of life for females. This data measures factors across 195 countries for 31 years. I worked with the raw data to separate each index/factor.
