Challenge 7 - Women in Government - Solution

Women in Government

In this challenge you will create one or more visualizations to inspect the percentual share of seats held by women in local government, as reported by the United Nations Development Programme: Human Development Reports. The purpose of this report is to “ensure women's full and effective participation and equal opportunities for leadership at all levels of decision-making in political, economic and public life”. Since this is a real dataset there will be missing values, and we expect you to augment the data via your own creativity. In particular, we ask that you not only report country specific data but also continent data. The true challenge here will be how you transform this incomplete dataset into one or more visualizations, and which visualizations you deem appropriate for this challenge. Challenge outline is as follows:

1. Download the dataset and decide the most efficient way to bring it into KNIME
2. Add a continent column using whatever method you think is most efficient
3. Visualize the data (the KNIME solution will visualize both country and continent related data)
