Gender equality statistics¶
The data are a version of this dataset from the World Bank on gender and inequality usually housed at World Bank gender-statistics.
The version I’ve used here was from 2017. The 2017 version had data on health care expenditure that the current data does not have.
You can get a copy of the 2017 data at: Gender_StatsData.csv.
See the Gender Statistics dataset page for more detail on my processing of the data.
In summary, I’ve rearranged the data, calculated averaged data from 2012 to 2016 for a set of columns I was interested in, and only kept rows corresponding to actual countries, rather than summary groups like “Arab World” and “Lower middle income”.
The data file is gender_stats.csv.
See gender stats data dictionary for a list of the column names and their meaning.
