Project 1: The Story Behind the Data
What story does the AFHDR data tell when condensed into a one-sentence biography of an average female citizen?
- The page displays a single, run-on sentence describing the life of an average female citizen of a given African country through the lens of the data provided.
- The user can cycle through countries by selecting them from a drop-down menu or pressing
←and→.
- A condensed dataset of the relevant indicators was compiled by hand. It's imported as a
.tsvfile. - React handles data processing and display.
Project 2: Exploring the GDI
- Can an interactive display make the GDI more understandable? Can it empower users to understand, manipulate and critique the makeup of the GDI in a playful manner?
- The project is in essence an interactive version of the GDI calculation flowchart (See p. 1 of the 2014 HDR Technical Notes)
- Users can select which country to examine and see the values update accordingly.
- Each of the indicators can be manipulated by clicking and dragging, with the variables depending on it updating in real time.
- A condensed dataset of the relevant indicators was compiled by hand. It's imported as a
.tsvfile. - React handles data processing and display.
- The Dimension Indices, gender-disaggregated HDI values and GDI are calculated live at runtime, with the respective formulae set up in accordance with 2014 HDR Technical Notes reference specification
