Why have the axis labels and tick labels so tiny when they’re crucial to the data? Otherwise this just looks a like a paint palette.

Can you explain what the shaded squares and the lines leading of them mean?
In the absence of this, the graph is meaningless.

The highest point of these age whiskers seems very high – like 110+ years? Also people die at all ages from 0 and up, so what is the criteria for the lowest age wisker — ie the beginning of the death ranges?

By GDP or GDP/capita? For something like this – which is on a per person basis – I would go off GDP/capita?

Are you trying to tell me, nobody below age ~57 has ever died in Japan or Italy?
