Data Viz
Analyzing the impact of globalization on the gender pay gap and displaying research data in 2d and 3d visualizations on an interactive website.
Project
overview
Interactive web design
The website featured a range of 2D and 3D visualization charts that displayed the impact of globalization on the gender wage gap. Users could interact with the charts to explore the data and gain insights into the trends and patterns. The website also included explanatory text and contextual information to help users understand the significance of the findings.
To ensure accessibility, I made the website compatible with various devices.
By following these stages, I was able to create an informative and engaging platform that helps users understand the complex relationship between globalization and the
gender wage gap.
Data research and analysis
I collected data from reputable sources such as the World Bank and the International Labor Organization (ILO), which provided comprehensive datasets on wages and employment across different countries.
3D Visualization of data
I chose tools like Tableau and Plotly for creating interactive 2D and 3D charts. I developed a preliminary version of the website, incorporating sample data to test the visualizations.
Creating Graphs, Charts and Plots
I created various charts, such as bar graphs, line charts, and scatter plots, to represent the data in different ways. I also included interactive features that allowed users to filter and explore the data.

Data Visualizations
Presented below are three different data sets i collected looking at the Illiterate and literate education rates in 2011, The Labour rate(2017-2022), The gender gap(2002-2023) and and differences in the gap between 6 developing countries.
Hypothesis:
Globalization reduces the gender wage gap
Depending on the industry the trade pattern as well as the socio economic situation could have lasting impacts. Examining globalization and its affects on gender wage inequality.

Conclusion
I have analyzed the data of 37 countries during 2002-2010-2023. Based on the obtained results, the gender wage gap has fallen from an average of 18% to 12% in the last 10 years, thus the hypothesis being verified. At the current rate of progress there will not be equal pay until 2069.

I reviewed data of literacy, poverty, unemployment and gender gaps from the following sources. To increase website exposure and interactivity i added a forum, blog and file share space to allow users to share their data online.
