In an effort to understand the disparities in education both within countries and throughout the world, UNESCO created this view that displays the distribution of children ages 17-22 with less than 4 years of schooling.
About this Viz
The vertical black lines represent the average education poverty (children with less than four years of schooling) for each country. The orange bars specify the differences in education poverty within population groups (Wealth, Language, Ethnicity, etc.). A very wide orange bar shows a group with high education marginalization.
Take C.A.R. for example: although education poverty averages an astoundingly high 89% (89% of all children 17-22 have less than 4 years of schooling), the orange bars span less than 15% so we can tell that there are relatively small disparities between groups in the country. Conversely, in Niger only 30% of the wealthiest group is in education poverty while over 90% of the poorest group is.
