Our World in Data
2024
This data portal produced by the Oxford Martin Programme on Global Development at the University of Oxford is made available as a public good. Data analyses and visualization is used to explore a wide range of topics that are important to understanding trends in global living conditions, including health, food and nutrition, income growth and distribution, violence, human rights, war, education, the environment, and more.
The portal disaggregates data in each of these topics to illustrate trends, offers contextual background, and provides discussion about the quality of data and sources. This portal illustrates the interconnections among global health issues and the roles they play in altering living conditions over time.
Users interested in public health may be particularly interested in the “meta-entry” on global health, which provides a high-level introduction to key issues with links to specific analyses on related topics such as life expectancy, maternal and child mortality, disease burden, health systems and financing, and more.
The founder of Our World in Data is Max Roser, an economist at the University of Oxford. He provides suggestions to educators who want to use data visualization in presentations.
