Darkhorse Analytics Partners with The University of Kansas to Unveil “The Care Board” Data Visualization — Darkhorse Analytics
Beyond storytelling, the site includes dashboard-style pages that allow for in-depth analysis. Filters enable users to explore gender, parenthood, formality of care, and more.
Equity and distribution
The Care Board introduces new metrics—including the care ratio and Gini coefficient of formal care—to examine how evenly care work is distributed. These tools reveal gaps in supply and need.
Open and accessible
Supporting pages include a full methodology, glossary, and data repository to promote transparency and reuse.
Care work is essential. Thanks to the team at KU and the work of Darkhorse Analytics, the scale and structure of this invisible economy are now easier to see, understand, and act on.
