In previous blog posts, we\u2019ve mapped the availability of online labour in\u00a02016 [1] and in 2017 [2] using the data provided by the Online Labour Index (OLI) measuring the utilization of online labour platforms [3]. The OLI is based on tracking all projects and tasks posted into a selected sample of platforms, using API access\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

\r\n Mapping Broadband Affordability in 2016<\/a>\r\n <\/div>\r\n
\r\n

The relative cost of being connected to the internet underpins the global digital divide. This visualization illustrates the unevenness of the geographies of broadband affordability, the ramifications of which can be seen in some of the other visualizations created by our project, such as the cartogram of the world online and the archipelago of disconnection.\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>

The previous post in this mini-series, Who can access the internet?, looked at internet penetration in country context. In this post, we compare world regions and their access to the internet. This box plot visualization shows the distribution of per-country internet penetration, i.e. the percentage of the population of countries that has accessed the internet\u2026 Read More »<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n<\/div>
