The surface of each country on the map then becomes proportional to the chosen indicator.
Thus, two countries that have the same value for this indicator will have the same surface after transformation.
For some indicators, you can follow the evolution of the map over time by clicking the ► button that appears at the bottom left of the map.

This indicator gives the percentage of seats occupied by women in national parliaments. In 2014, out of 100 parliamentary seats 22 on average were occupied by women. In North America, the share of women in the national parliaments is identical to that in sub-Saharan Africa, with 22 seats out of 100. In Europe, South America and East Asia, 30 seats out of 100 are held by women. This proportion is below the global average in the countries of the Middle East and South Asia. The countries where the proportion is highest are developing countries: among the 20 countries where this ratio is the highest (more than 40% of seats), 14 are emerging countries. The first are Rwanda, Bolivia and Cuba, where one member of parliament in two is a woman. The countries of Northern Europe and Spain also have a high ratio.
