      Pretty interesting to see a broader context. You always see countries compared on one specific benchmark, but rarer to see this many metrics in a single infograph.

      1. Germany workers only work 30 hours a week??

      2… US has better educational scores than Germany, France and Italy?? If you buy Reddit, you’d assume all Americans are mumbling idiots

      And here we thought China was better at math this whole time.

      This data is not at all beautiful, put all numbers in black and highlight lowest and highest value in each row. This looks like a high schoolers presentation

      Somethings just seem wrong here. Would love to see the normal distribution of these averages/per capita numbers.

    6. You should add color coding for the highest and lowest value in each category

    7. Read Avg. Schooling as Avg. School Shooting, I though they were measuring that lmao

    8. What’s up with the chinese death rate? Older population? Also how do they have a higher democracy rate?

      So democracy rank, lower is better. Happiness rank the same?

      More generally, I’m not comfortable comparing statistics between democracies and dictatorships. We have little assurance of the validity of any number from China.

      The US may be falsifying statistics these days as well.

      The point is, these numbers are only as good as they are honest.

      I question that happiness rank. US seems way too high. I guess it depends on whose happiness.

    11. Median income is a more useful figure. Mean is skewed by the ultra wealthy in the US.

      Someone want to remake this? Great graphic, would love to see India, Australia, and nordic countries

      I think it was a mistake to have “Avg. Schooling” right after “Homicide Rates”, specially when the first country on the list is the United States.

      Guess what my monkey brain made me read instead of the real text?

    14. Interesting that only UK has higher pisa scores, and I’m thinking not all their students take the Pisa tests.

      Very unpopular opinion—American public schools are very good, but since we have high rates of childhood poverty it doesn’t look that way. If a kid is hungry or doesn’t feel safe or doesn’t have stability they have a hard time succeeding in school. That’s not the schools’ fault.

    15. I_can_vouch_for_that on

      So statistically speaking, there is going to be a celebration soon in the US.

      Don’t look at homicide rate don’t look at homicide rate don’t look at

    17. China, do something about your pollution I mean it’s so bad it’s even affecting your neighbors for fucks sake it’s not even the slightest surprise your people are getting killed by pollution lol.

      US having a higher infant mortality than China (where girls are notoriously unwanted) is wild.
