COUNTRY REPORTS - SCORE COMPARISON

Interactive comparison of country reports (2021 vs 2011)

Here it is possible to get a comprehensive overview of the performances of each country according to the several indicators, and confront the 2011 and 2021 scores. If you want to browse the report by country, check here (2011) or here (2021).

A value from 0 to 3 is assigned to each country per indicator.

Next to the 2021 score, you can see a symbol (+, =, -) suggesting whether the country got a higher, equal or lower score for the corresponding indicator compare to 2011.

Customize the data visualization

By clicking on the column’s title you can sort it in ascending or descending order. Use the filter boxes under the column’s title to filter the data as desidered. You can also use regular expressions to custom your filtering.

For example, try out:

  • 2 to filter by a given value (e.g. 2)
  • 1 OR 3 to filter for two values
  • F11 OR E3 OR C1 in the first column to display only some indicators
  • !=3 to filter out a value (e.g. NOT 3)
  • >2 to get values more than a minimum (e.g. more than 2)
  • >=1to get values more or equal a minimum (e.g. more or equal 1)
  • F2 to display only a specific indicator (insert it in the first column)
  • etc.

You can also use multiple filters in more columns at the same time (they will behave like a logical AND).

To filter by trend (and see if a country improved or not its score):
 1. Copy one of the following symbols by clicking on it:
Copy symbol to clipboard (higher score)
Copy symbol to clipboard (equal score)
Copy symbol to clipboard (lower score)

2. Paste it in the filter box in the 2021 column of the desired country
