The graph's x-axis is just the funds sorted in order of their values, right? That fact that that's not the kind of x-axis that you can label and draw points on should indicate to you that the visualization is not ideal.

I think in your title assertion you're confusing "power law" with the "long tail". To verify this relationship you will need an actual x-y plot. The way to get there, from what you are describing, is with binning.

As others have pointed out something like a power law should be on a log-scale graph. When you do bins in an example like this you definitely want to try putting it on a log-log graph. But if you're not sure what you're looking for or demonstrating, you should output both log- and linear-scale graphs for your viewer.

In the Netherlands, one of the reasons the gap is so high because many women chose to work part-time after they start a family. Due to the strong family orientation of the culture, that option is available.

That has two implications:

  • They work less days (my wife works 2 days, for example).
  • They are usually ineligible for more senior people manager roles due to only logging on for part of the week.

i've lived in both korea and malaysia and i can tell you without a doubt that koreans waste much more food.

Koreans have a side dish culture which literally goes straight to the waste bin if not eaten by customers.

Malaysia have prominent a la carte dishes culture that produces less waste in general

I really doubt the data

Nope not confused at all….typically when people reference the “pay gap” they are insinuating that women get paid less than men for the exact same job (which would lead to companies hiring only women). They are also insinuating that it stems from sexism and/or bigotry towards women….that is also false.

Literally no one ever has denied the pay gap of lump averages by gender….the question is why
