ECONOMY WORK/ANALYSE

1. Fill in the empty caskets down below (life expectancy and mobiles per 100 inhabitants in 2009). Assume f

2. Make a short analysis for each country. Also do you think they follow the "pattern", or is it something that varies?

Remember to proceed always from the countries up above!

4. Describe short the differences between the countries: Iraq, Thailand, Belgium, and Brazil. You do not need to go in exactly on a detail level. Try also to describe the differences in a VERY comprehensible way. Not so easy, always.

5. Which country seems to have the best prosperity, here you can/have to use the dimensions: GDP/CAPITA or why not HDI. (All three dimension). Here you need to appropriately conduct a study over time.

Use the tool on the site: http://www.gapminder.org/

It is many dimensions to choose between. It may be appropriate to have Time as the x-axis, if you want to see trends across different countries. The dimensions, you can look forward in the y-axis.

For simplest way to put results in your report, you can use the Alt + Print Screen, then paste it into Word using Ctrl + V.

Examples of search of correlations

Thus, where one can assume that the development of two key figures developed on same way (correlated statistical language, hence the term correlation).

Here occurs, a comparison between the expected age of life and GDP / Capita.

You can even get the evolution by selecting Trail and then Play.
