      Data : World Bank data from 1960 to 2023 including crude birth and death rates as well as population (bubble size)

      Tools : R, specifically ggplot and gganimate

      I want to know about that Middle Eastern/North African blob that gets <1% Death rate circa 2009. What’s going on there, and where is that?

      I don’t think the log scale works well for this. Countries reaching the low numbers are flying around quickly.

      Then again, if I saw it in linear I might think “This would work better in a log scale”.

      In such cases I think log(x + c) can be a good compromise.

      Very interesting but moves kindof fast, and then repeats without a break.

      What are the rates expressed in? It seems to say % but that can’t be since nowhere has a 10% death rate or 50% birth rate per year.

      Keep watching until 2019/2020, and then see every bubble take a jump to the right. Wonder what happened there? :3
