Extended Data Fig. 3: Range of social shortfall across global indicators by year (N = 19).
From: Doughnut of social and planetary boundaries monitors a world out of balance
Data points are individual observations for 19 social indicators with available time-series data in each year (with jitter to avoid overlaps). Each social indicator tracks the share of the world’s population falling below its respective minimum social standard (green line) in percentage terms, ranging from zero (nobody in shortfall) to 100 (entire population in shortfall). For each box plot, the horizontal line and the box represent the median and the interquartile range (IQR), respectively, and the ‘whiskers’ extend to the closest observations greater than/less than 1.5 × IQR. To ensure a consistent set of indicators over time, we exclude two indicators with insufficient time-series data (food insecurity, which starts in 2015, and lack of public transport, which starts in 2020) and we fill observations for three indicators missing values between 2000 and 2004 by carrying their respective 2005 observations backward (youth NEET, lack of social support and perceptions of corruption).
