Gapminder data

The Gapminder Foundation collates metrics on global development to contest common country stereotypes through facts. The dataset consists of six variables: country, continent, year, life expectancy, population and GDP per capita.

Visitors to the Gapminder website can download their data in CSV or XLSX form; however, one can also install subsets of the data through Python or R.
