  1. I like this method of displaying information, but I find it a bit hard to compare the social mobility between countries

  2. Why would you make everything visualized as circle sizes when they’re already sorted into rows in a way that would make bar graphs work better?

  3. This data is not beautiful. The topic is interesting. I’d like to see something meaningful, but I can’t figure out what this graphic is showing. What do the dot sizes mean? Sort by social mobility, not alphabetically to highlight the story the data tells.

  4. Would it kill you to spell out the countries? I mean I know HR is Croatia but that isn’t always obvious… and how do you not have Germany ?

    Education Level **≠** Social Mobility

    Your graph shows the relationship between parental education and the education level of their offspring. Nothing more, nothing less.

  6. Massively wasted potential here. You should print out the full name of each country, there will be very few people who will know all these abbreviations. Since each line has the same country over all three data sets, you don’t need to print out the name of the country 3 times.

    The colors aren’t useful here, since all the information in the colors is also shown by the column headers.
