    The graphic showing the age demographics of various countries by layering is cool. But it would also be cool to see different countries compared where the layers are based on real numbers of people rather than percentages, so one could see the comparative impact of the various countries.

    Nice visualization as to how many people are of working age. Admittedly, there is no reference to the quality of work but still the portion of people of working age must have some correlation to economic production, so a “fatter image” does indicate that productive effort is available.
    Seems that Mexico (Mexique?) has an optimum image. Good transition all along the demographic including not a lot of senior citizen free loaders.
