How has Life Expectancy evolved over the years in the world?
I was asked to create one dashboard using Tableau and collect the data wherever I wanted. So I decided to go for one story about Life Expectancy but try to look at the data from a different perspective than the usual GDP or any economic reasons.
Firstly I researched the different sources that I could use to create my database, since I wanted to analyze Life Expectancy over many years it was not easy to find different databases with the required information. In the end, I decided to use The World Bank databases so I spent quite an amount of time digging into those databases.
When I downloaded all the interesting databases for my project (not all were useful), I had to process them with python to normalize the data and prepare one only database to use in Tableau.
The path since I started to create the dashboard brought to the front how human nature could affect Life Expectancy, for instance, the genocides or the basic sanitation services.
I tried to show the information like a story, starting in the year 1960 and finishing in the year 2020, unfortunately, the information didn't include the pandemic of Covid but I think that could be a little bit interesting all I could show in my dashboard like the Life Expectancy changing or the deviation from the mean in the 2020 year.
So, if you want to see the result of this project, you can go to One story about Life Expectancy
