Abstract

This dataset contains many indicators related to population and migration such as Average annual population growth rate, Population 15-19 , Annual rate of change of the migrant stock, International migrant stock at mid-year, etc. The whole list and their description can be find in this link https://bit.ly/2ODhFQh

Each row in this dataset represents tabular records. Data was last updated on HDX on 2024-09-13. Geographic scope: BDI.

Curated into ML-ready Parquet format by Electric Sheep Africa.

Curation

Raw data was downloaded from HDX via the CKAN API and converted to Parquet. Column names were lowercased and standardised to snake_case. Common missing-value markers (N/A, null, none, -, unknown, no data, #N/A) were unified to NaN. The dataset was split 80/20 into train and test partitions using a fixed random seed (42) and saved as Snappy-compressed Parquet.

Limitations

• Data originates from United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and has not been independently validated by ESA.
• Automated cleaning cannot correct for misreported values, definitional inconsistencies, or sampling bias in the original collection.
• The following columns have >20% missing values and should be treated with caution in modelling: 1970, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977....
• Refer to the original HDX dataset page for the publisher's own methodology notes and caveats.
