“You educate a man, you educate a man. You educate a woman, you educate a generation.” – Brigham Young

For ICM final project, I decided to continue working on data visualization.

What is it: It is a myth that there is a connection between education level and the average age of first marriage.  I will be mining data for 4 to 5 countries, and determine if there really is coorelation.

Title: Does Education really matter?

The inspiration:  a video from Visual Language class- the girl effect: the clock is ticking.

I will create a interactive map that combines all the following variables and it will allow user to click on the map and see details information on how different levels of education/health care expenditure would affect age of first marriage.

Key indicators(variables) in my sketch:

a. Education expenditure (%of GDP)

b. Health expenditure (%of GDP)

c. Average age of first marriage

 

 

I will demonstrate the each age group in details with country information, and % of education and health expenditure.

The final result will look something like this:
