The two topics I chose for my gapminder active chart for Dominican Republic are, Babies per Women and Underweight Children%. Babies per Women is on the y-axis and Underweight Children % is on the x-axis. I chose these two topic because I wanted to see the birth rate compared to the underweight children percentage since more than a third of the country is in poverty. I thought It would be interesting to see this country compared to other undeveloped and developed countries.
