About Makeover Monday

MakeoverMonday is a social data project: “Each week we post a link to a chart, and its data, and then you rework the chart. Maybe you retell the story more effectively, or find a new story in the data. We’re curious to see the different approaches you all take. Whether it’s a simple bar chart or an elaborate infographic, we encourage everyone of all skills to partake. Together we can have broader conversations about and with data.”

Starting from Jan 08, 2018, I decided to put aside one hour on Monday weekly to create some visualization and find some insights from the data.

The datasets are published each week at: MakeoverMonday Datasets.

This week is another viz5 session – visualize gender equality. The dataset is a survey result of contraceptive use worldwide – it shows the contraceptive availability and method of the respodents (women 15-49) in each country. The original viz is a map view with region breakdown of the survey responses. I always believe that women own their body, so they have the right to use contraceptive with their will.

My Visualization

well… not very creative, but bar chart with map :)

Insights

• We are seeing highest percentage (>20%) of women with unmet countraceptive needs in Middle, Western and Eastern Africa;
• As for Northern Africa, it has the second lowest percentage of women with unmet countraceptive needs, but this is mainly because it in the meantime shows the highest percentage who stated they don’t want to avoid pregnancy – there could be some complicated reasons behind it (religion, culture, tradition, etc.).
