Is Two-child Policy welcome by Chinese? #205

Open SiruiZhu opened 6 years ago

SiruiZhu commented 6 years ago

Pitch

In October 2015, Chinese government set a Two-child policy. How's the effect?

I read in news that is about China is actually having a population risk, that young people are not willing to have children. While on social media, people over 25 years old tend to have more pressure, like marriage, housing, children, wage and so on. Let's say 90s in China now are going through hard time really!

I'm interested in:

Summary

So far, my first step goes to explore data from National Bureau of Statistics of China.

Details

Possible headline(s):

Data set(s): National Bureau of Statistics of China The World Bank

Code repository: https://github.com/SiruiZhu/Data-Studio/tree/master/code/03-Chinese%20Two-child%20policy

Possible problems/fears/questions:

Work so far

Explore the first dataset, and get a draft graph showing the 1st, 2nd and 3rd child rate from past decade. (There isn't data for 2011, will add an annotation for this)

We can see the willing for 1st child fertility rate is declined, the Two-child policy seems didn't help with fertility rate, instead, the 1st child fertility for female is declined.

draft

Will make this graphic better, and explore the age column, and explore the world bank dataset.

Checklist

This checklist must be completed before you submit your draft.

I'm really interested in seeing how this chart turns out in the end. I

The fertility rate graph gets the point across really quickly, which is good. I wouldn't put dots on the line, tho. (1-6 on the y-axis is the number of children being born per woman?)

I have the same question as Hakan, is 1-6 on the y-axis the number of children being born per woman? If it is, it would be nice to label at least one of the numbers (the one at the top preferably), so readers can understand what is happening. Even though this is a Chinese policy, I can tell you that there is no part in the world that have not read about this and cares to know about the actual situation. I am a bit confused about the fertility rate graph because at the end I cannot tell if women are deciding to have 0, 1, 1.5(whatever the hell that means) kid(s). I believe the dots do not contribute to the graph. ***You should add the source of your data somewhere in the graph rectangle. I like that the visuals look clean and to the point. Can't wait to see the final version!

Love this topic!!! Here are my suggestions: -For the first graph, I'm kind of confused about the x-axis. Maybe putting the percentage symbol on the x-axis will be better. -For the second graph, I'm still confused about the axis. It would be better to have labels and I think that y is the number of children and x is the year, right?

when you chart a rate, it should be a fever line. fever lines are used for whenever a number is an average - if it's a calculation. so the stacked bar chart you have should be turned on its side and made into fever lines.

i don't know what the first/second/third rate means tho. is the the first, second and third child? the labeling and the data on this topic are very important because there is a difference between a BIRTH RATE and a FERTILITY RATE.

fertility rate is a per woman rate, and birth rate is a per population rate. you may want to explore both.
