## basic example code

Data sources

• World Bank: Life expectancy at birth, female (years)

• World Bank: Contraceptive prevalence, any methods (% of women ages 15-49)

• World Bank: Fertility rate, total (births per woman)

• World Bank: Wanted fertility rate (births per woman)

• World Bank: Births attended by skilled health staff (% of total)

• World Bank: Maternal mortality ratio (modeled estimate, per 100,000 live births)

• World Bank: School enrollment, primary and secondary (gross), gender parity index (GPI)

• "The Gender Parity Index (GPI) indicates parity between girls and boys. Gender parity index for gross enrollment ratio in primary and secondary education is the ratio of girls to boys enrolled at primary and secondary levels in public and private schools. A GPI of less than 1 suggests girls are more disadvantaged than boys in learning opportunities and a GPI of greater than 1 suggests the other way around. Eliminating gender disparities in education would help increase the status and capabilities of women."

• Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD): Length of maternity leave, parental leave and paid father-specific leave

• Gapminder: Children per woman (total fertility rate)

  • "1950 to 2014: In most cases we use the latest UN estimates from World Population Prospects 2017 published in the file with Annually interpolated demographic indicators, called WPP2017_INT_F01_ANNUAL_DEMOGRAPHIC_INDICATORS.xlsx, accessed on September 2, 2017."
  • Removed years >= 2015, "2015 – 2099: We use the UN forecast of future fertility rate in all countries, called median fertility variant."

• Gapminder: Average age at 1st marriage (girls)
