Re Explore how the share of women in parliament has changed in other countries: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/share-of-women-in-parliament?tab=chart

Three countries had more women than men in parliament in 2023—
Women’s representation in national politics has increased dramatically in the last century.
But men still hold more parliamentary seats in almost every country. There are three exceptions: Cuba, Nicaragua, and Rwanda.
You can see this in the map. Most countries are in blue, meaning they have a higher share of men; in many countries, they make up more than 75% of the seats (shown in darker blue).
Look closely enough, and you can see the three countries in red that have more women.
This data comes from V-Dem and is based on parliamentary seats in 2023.

Check out this great new video about Our World in Data from Oxford Social Sciences (@oxsocsci) featuring our founder, @MaxCRoser!

In the short video, Max shares his journey with Our World in Data, which he started ten years ago as a small, personal side project — the background research for a book he wanted to write.
Since then, the publication has grown much more than Max ever anticipated. In the last five years, we’ve had more than 750 million page views. And we are cited tens of thousands of times each year by major news media, academic researchers, and governments worldwide.

Re Explore the most popular types of meat in your country in the global dataset: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/per-capita-meat-type

Meat preferences vary a lot across different countries—
America’s most popular type of meat is chicken. In Argentina, chicken is tied with beef. And in Japan, it’s fish and seafood.
There are large differences in the popularity of meat types across the world.
In the chart above, you can see the share of supply that comes from different types of meat: poultry, beef, pork, goat, and seafood. I’ve picked just a selection of countries that highlight some of the variation across the world.
Of course, countries also eat very different amounts of meat; this chart focuses on the relative amounts in national diets.
This data comes from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations.
