CISV bubbles 2009.

An update to the CISV statistics database.

I've been fiddling with this for a while, and not everything is where I'd like it to be: Entering new data turns our to be more work than I had hoped for, and also my good old five-year old PowerBook is challenged with so much data and a memory-thirsty GoogleDocs. Nevertheless I've added many more numbers to the spreadsheet, including the Balcony Index calculated for every year, EEC representation and indiviual programme hosting numbers. Most of the numbers are from the Annual Report, others were sent to me by Bebbe (thanks!), 2010, of course is not yet included. 

Here's the link to the raw data, and as usual, a more comprehensive way of looking at it, using Gapminder's great visualization software:

I still have more numbers that date back to 1996 and I hope that it will be even more interesting looking at CISVs development over a longer timespan.   

I'm not attaching any kind of interpretation this time - these things will show up in future posts, when I look at specific questions.

Hey Nick,

I was looking at this and happened to realise the oddly enormous increase in CISV Canada's numbers between 2003 and 2004. Is it a mistake in the data or an actual increase? It would be amazing if it were real, but I'm finding it a bit too much

Cheers

Hey Ze, I think 2003 Canada had its insurance problem and was unable to participate in anything. As soon as I've added data from pre-2003, you'll see that it's purely a gap.
