GNI per capita, Atlas method (current US$)GNI per capita (formerly GNP per capita) is the gross national income, converted to U.S. dollars using the World Bank Atlas method, divided by the midyear population. GNI is the sum of value added by all resident producers plus any product taxes (less subsidies) not included in the valuation of output plus net receipts of primary income (compensation of employees and property income) from abroad.

Graduates in relation to population
According to income-based measures of poverty, 1.2 billion people live with $1.25 or less a day. However, according to the UNDP Multidimensional Poverty Index, almost 1.5 billion people in 91 developing countries are living in poverty with overlapping deprivations in health, education and living standards. And although poverty is declining overall, almost 800 million people are at risk of falling back into poverty if setbacks occur. Many people face either structural or life-cycle vulnerabilities.

Results
Insights
From the visualization
•Besides China, India, and USA, the population from the rest of the world seems to increase slowly.
•It seems that everyone is doing it well. HDI seems to increase “linearly” for everyone, slowly though.
•In terms of HDI, India seems to be behind in the BRIC
•There are issues in the center of Africa
From making the visualization
•Tempted to use the cartogram for the HDI. Yet, I decided to follow the “population” as in a normal cartogram
•I wasn't pleased, and have to tweak the cartogram until I felt I was “not misleading”. There're rhetorical decisions in data/information visualization.
•Color, typography and composition are relevant.
•I found e!fective the use of small multiples, sparklines, linear representation for quantities, pre-attentive processing, layering, redundancy
