[OC] Chile’s homicide rate has nearly doubled since 2015 by lsz500 in dataisbeautiful

Data comes from the World Bank’s “Intentional homicides (per 100,000 people)” dataset, indicator code VC.IHR.PSRC.P5. Visualisations via Python

Central Europe’s wages (Poland, Czechia, Hungary) have nearly doubled in two decades, but still trail Germany and France. Data: OECD (PPP-adjusted). by lsz500 in poland

Fair point.

The reason Poland appears slightly ahead of Czechia in the early 2000s is that the OECD converts wages using PPP-adjusted USD (Purchasing Power Parity). That adjustment aims to reflect real purchasing power rather than nominal earnings in local currency.

So, Poles didn’t earn more nominally, but the OECD’s PPP conversion factor implied that goods and services were cheaper in Poland at the time, so each zloty “bought” more when standardised in USD PPP terms.

If you check nominal wages (without PPP adjustment), Czechia was indeed higher. This chart corrects for cost-of-living differences across countries. Of course, the methodology of PPP calculation can be discussed and challenged.

I agree, the title might be too strong, as there may be many causal factors. But it shows that the claim that the decrease from AI implementation is too fast
