Chart
I've included a description at the bottom of my chart.
Question
Why are the number of girls in the lower-income families so much higher?

UNICEF’s page explains why millions of girls worldwide are unable to attend school. Around 129 million girls miss out on education due to a range of challenges, including poverty, cultural pressures, conflict, early marriage, and lack of essential resources like menstrual products and safe bathrooms. These barriers make it especially hard for girls to stay in school, as many face pressure to work at home or are held back by financial limitations.
For girls from lower-income families, missing school often comes down to cost: they may need to work to support their family, lack basic supplies, or don’t have access to private sanitation facilities, which is crucial, especially during their menstrual cycle. UNICEF is working to change this by providing resources, improving school facilities, and advocating for every girl’s right to an education.
New Data Slice
I made a new data slice to show the percentage of girls missing school. That is also what I used to create the chart.

I have chosen a new but similar dataset that shows the percentage of girls missing school.

Hey Bahar I really like the chart you made for this update, it's very clear but I can't help but think there might be a better visual chart that will highlight the variables between the 4 categories more than having them side by side. I love that you are bringing light to this issue I just wish that there was a less obvious answer of privilege as to why some girls do or don't attend school all in all though I really like your chart!
ReplyDeleteHi Bahar! Great job explaining the complex issues as to why millions of girls worldwide aren't able to attend school and including the UNICEF page. I am interested in finding out if these barriers vary across different regions and/or cultures and if that would change your data at all. Great job, Bahar!
ReplyDeleteHi Bahar, I think you picked and presented a great dataset and accompanying article, both highlighting a crucial global issue. I think your chart as it is represents an interesting shared trend in a decrease of out-of-school rates, but perhaps as a line chart the relation between the different economic groups could be better understood. Great job!
ReplyDeleteHi Bahar, I think your dataset/topic are very fascinating, and your chart does a good job at showing comparisons in a way that is simple and easy for readers. It very clearly outlines the differences between the levels of income, and is a very well done graph.
ReplyDeleteHey Bahar really well done in finishing this report. I still really like your topic as I think it's something that needs more light shown on it and the multiple charts you made really put the numbers into perspective visually which I apprecaite, well done!
