Slides, video lectures and syllabus from the Harvard introductory course "Using Big Data Solve Economic and Social Problems" which gets students using statistical science to examine topics such as equality of opportunity, education, health, the environment, and criminal justice.

Hosted by the University of Oxford, Our World in Data explains global issues using interactive graphs. This page on their site has slide presentations on five topics including extreme poverty and population growth. They can either be downloaded in Powerpoint format, or viewed online: in the latter case, the included graphs are fully interactive, allowing the reader to jump back and forth along a timeline, for example.
This is an archive of 145 graphics constructed by the ONS, free to use under the Open Government Licence. Each focuses on making a few headline statistics or trends visible and colourful. Economic themes include the economic health of regions of the UK; trade statistics; the labour market; taxation; benefits; house prices. Some graphics address social trends such as household type.

This is a collection of hundreds of diagrams to illustrate economic concepts, each of which is freely reusable for any purpose (subject to attribution of the original author and other licence requirements). They are in image formats that can easily be copied into presentation software. For each kind of graph, there are usually many variations. This is a multilingual, user-driven site, so many of the diagrams are labelled in languages other than English.
