Gender Equality in Motion

From Wikigender.org

Motion Charts (also known as "Gapminder" or "Trendalyzer") provide moving graphics of statistics, a very useful tool for analyzing data trends over time and gaining insights into relationships between variables. Wikigender will use motion charts to tell stories about gender equality and human and economic development, with data form the Gender, Institutions and Development Data Base and other sources. Here is the first Motion Chart available on Wikigender, which presents data on gender equality and development with the following variables:
