Gapminder

2024

Gapminder, an independent, nonpartisan non-profit foundation based in Sweden, promotes sustainable global development by increased use and understanding of statistics about social, economic, and environmental development. The organization offers free teaching resources to help educators explain complex historical and contemporary concepts and issues using reliable statistics. Several of the teaching materials are relevant to public and world health, including data visualizations that allow students to experiment with population data and detailed lesson plans about life expectancy and global development over the past 200 years.
