A walkthrough dashboard takes the viewer through the entire study: from motivation, methods, collected data, visualizations, to the results of statistical analysis.
This data study evaluates the signing and ratification of a global disability convention in relation to quality of life (QoL) and culture.
The study was inspired by the United Nations’ Enable Map published in July 2014. At the time, many countries had not ratified the Convention Regarding Persons with Disabilities (CRPD).
In 2022, the story was different. Most countries had ratified the convention, but many hadn’t ratified the optional protocol. We wondered if quality of life in 2022 showed a relationship to the ratification of the optional protocol.
QoL data for persons with disabilities was unavailable; we used QoL for the general populace. Data on culture and masculinity were also collected.
