Gender Gap in Internet accessibility

 This project is part of MakeoverMonday which is a weekly social data project (link here).

Data is about how each country stands in terms of internet accessibility both (Internet in general and Mobile ) based on gender. 

The method to calculate gender gap ratio is using the formula ((Male access - Female access)/Male Access) adopted by EIU(The Economist Intelligence Unit).

Positive value indicates that male access exceeds female access and a Negative value indicates vice versa.

In Asia, Pakistan has the highest gender gap in internet accessibility with close to 70% females having no access when compared to males.(Dark Blue indicates more male access, Dark Brown indicates more female access)

Countries like China, Kazhakstan, Philippines, Mongolia have females with more internet access when compared to males.


Below is a world map focusing majorly on Asia;



A scatter plot to show where India stands among rest of the countries;
Countries on first quadrant are the ones with more male population having access to internet than females (a higher gender gap with needle leaning more towards male).




PS : Credits to Andy Kriebel (Youtube channel link) who's channel has tonnes of resources related to Tableau and I have taken lot of inspiration from his video while working on this dataset.
