Population and GDP Per Capita Trends: Asia’s Largest Economies

Introduction:

Through this data, we are aiming to create a scatter plot visualizing the relationship between population and GDP per capita. This will include a subset of the five largest countries in Asia. Using this, we can facet based off of the countries and analyze economic trends.

Interpretation:

China and India both have similar trends, as both population and GDP per Capita went up in a mostly linear rate. Indonesia and Pakistan also have similar trends, as both population and GDP per Capita are smaller than China and India, but continue a positive linear shape. Japan is relatively flat, as their population is stagnant. However, they show a rapid increase in their GDP per Capita. This could be explained by the utilization of emerging technology.
