The blue and yellow for gender and for USA/Cuba is confusing…I’d use different colours. Also, the USA and Cuba %s have the same size bars. I had to look closely to see the 17.4 vs. 7.6 difference…I’d put the bars on the same scale so visually it makes sense. Right now the two countries look like they are the same.
