Gapminder
We live in a world
where we are bombarded with information and statistics. But as we have
discussed in class, data without a proper interpretation doesn’t take us too
far. Gapminder (www.gapminder.org) is a recent and great way to present
statistics in a visual and chronological manner. It presents important data
from around the world in clear dynamic graphs so we can see and interpret data
visually.
Gap Minder purpose is
to link data from all over the world in order to effectively close the gap
between the data and using the data. Through
its platform “Trendanalyser”, gapminder gathers data from a wide variety of
different sources such as the World Bank, United Nations, International Labor
Organization and many other global institutions.
