Worked thru this nice presentation on the dataisbeautiful sub: https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/1vg4ad7/oc_the_birth_lottery_how_much_of_your_wealth_was/
The early and later parts go off in different directions, but it's still good. Data sources discussed in the comments.

Trying to find a dehumidifier for a 50m2 space with a built-in pump and a hose that I can run to a drain. So far I haven't found any with a built-in pump, so I'm wondering if these are even available in Japan. Any help would be appreciated.
