Not a single teddy bear: favorite toys of children from different countries
To better understand this world, you need to look at how different people live, and children's toys can tell a lot. The Dollar Street project, which will soon launch the Gapminder Foundation, has visited hundreds of homes and families with different income levels in different countries of the world. Through these photos, it was possible to find out that some people have almost nothing, people with a similar income level lead a similar life, and the economy is more important than cultural affiliation. And even toys in families with similar income levels are similar.
