PREDICTING ELECTION OUTCOME FROM SOCIAL MEDIA DATAkevig
In this era of technology, enormous Online Social Networking Sites (OSNs) have arisen as a medium of
expressing any opinions, thoughts towards anything even support their status against any social or
political matter at the same time. Nowadays, people connected to those networks are more likely to prefer
to employ themselves utilizing these online platforms to exhibit their standings upon any political
organizations participating in the election throughout the whole election period. The aim of this paper is to
predict the outcome of the election by engaging the tweets posted on Twitter pertaining to the Australian
federal election-2019 held on May 18, 2019. We aggregated two efficacious techniques in order to extract
the information from the tweet data to count a virtual vote for each corresponding political group. The
original results of the election closely match the findings of our investigation, published by the Australian

Analysis of Rising Tutition Rates in The United States Based on Clustering An...csandit
Since higher education is one of the major driving
forces for country development and social
prosperity, and tuition plays a significant role in
determining whether or not a person can
afford to receive higher education, the rising tuit
ion is a topic of big concern today. So it is
essentially necessary to understand what factors af
fect the tuition and how they increase or
decrease the tuition. Many existing studies on the
rising tuition either lack large amounts of real
data and proper quantitative models to support thei
r conclusions, or are limited to focus on only
a few factors that might affect the tuition, which
fail to make a comprehensive analysis. In this
paper, we explore a wide variety of factors that mi
ght affect the tuition growth rate by use of
large amounts of authentic data and different quant
itative methods such as clustering analysis
and regression models.

What facilitates the delivery of citizen centric e government services in dev...ijcsit
This document summarizes a study that aims to develop and validate an integrated model of success factors for delivering citizen-centric e-government services in developing countries. It conducted a literature review on existing models and identified gaps. A previous study using grounded theory developed 15 success factors across national, governmental, citizen and technological perspectives. This study aims to validate the model developed previously using structural equation modeling on survey data from Jordan. The results show some factors like perceived ease of use are no longer significant, while others like organizational loyalty, trust, quality, security and website design have a positive impact. National e-readiness was significant but not positively impacting. The study concludes by discussing theoretical and practical implications.
The document summarizes Massachusetts' strengths as a leading global digital health ecosystem.

The second study looks at prevalence of sexual abuse among youth, especially LGBTQ individuals. The third evaluates the psychosocial impacts of sexual abuse on adolescents. The fourth analyzes common feelings after abuse like powerlessness and stigmatization. Together these studies explore topics like reporting rates, prevalence, impacts, and experiences of sexual abuse.
Adoption of internal web technologies by oecd turkish government officialsijmpict
Use of communication and information channels for the OECD have been increasingly encouraged by
new channels such as the OECD’s Committee Information Service (OLIS) and Clearspace (CS) web
portals. A logit regression model was used to estimate the influence of the government’s supply side policy
tools and organisational factors on the decision to open OLIS and Clearspace accounts. Additionally,
probability analysis conducted to give insights on the usage frequency of information channels. Study used
a dataset that includes 126 Turkish top-level country and municipal government officials working on
different OECD study topics in 2010. Findings imply that the influence of the explanatory variables tested
differ between the two web-portal models. Satisfaction with the timing of information provided by the
OECD Permenant Delegation (timing issues in reaching reports) among officials is the only variable that
consistently has a positive influence on the adoption of both web-portal applications. The probability
analysis show that while duration of employment and degree of expertise increase the probability of use of
online information channels, work duration on OECD topics and meeting participation are the variables
that decrease the probability of use of face to face communication channels.

With good analysis, data tools, and commitment to change, meaningful progress is possible.
How can 'IT' improve national competitivenessMike Backhouse
This document is a student research paper that examines how information technology (IT) can improve national competitiveness. It begins with an introduction that defines national competitiveness and discusses the rise of IT. It then reviews literature on defining national competitiveness and the relationship between IT and national competitiveness. The paper develops a measure of national competitiveness and tests hypotheses about the effects of IT infrastructure, diffusion, and education policies using dynamic panel data modeling. The empirical findings suggest that IT educational policies have a significant positive impact on national competitiveness, and thus countries should focus policy efforts on upskilling their workforce through educational reform.

A Comparative Analysis of the Level of a State’s Economic Development with th...James Darnbrook
This document is a dissertation submitted by Mr. James W. Darnbrook for the degree of MSC in Education Practice and Innovation at the University of Southampton in 2015. The dissertation aims to examine the relationship between a state's level of economic development and its level of participation in tertiary education through a comparative analysis of data from 2003-2012. It analyzes data on tertiary education expenditures, enrollment rates, labor force participation rates with tertiary education, and contributions to GDP by economic sectors. The analysis suggests positive correlations between these tertiary education indicators and GNI per capita across income groups. It also finds positive correlations between service sector growth, unemployment among those with tertiary education, and the tertiary educated labor force.
India continues to witness strong economic growth that is aided by major economic reforms and transformation that country has witnessed in the past years. It is a well-accepted fact that major long-term and sustainable economic growth happens on the back of robust human resources capabilities that requires a strong education system. The Indian Higher Education sector is expected to play an even more important role to meet the growth aspirations of the country. The Indian education sector with around 800 universities will play a pivotal role in providing workforce and developing our leaders of the future.

A Comparative Analysis of the Level of a State’s Economic Development with th...James Darnbrook
This document is a dissertation submitted by Mr. James W. Darnbrook for the degree of MSC in Education Practice and Innovation at the University of Southampton in 2015. The dissertation aims to examine the relationship between a state's level of economic development and its level of participation in tertiary education through a comparative analysis of data from 2003-2012. It analyzes data on tertiary education expenditures, enrollment rates, labor force participation rates with tertiary education, and contributions to GDP by economic sectors. The analysis suggests positive correlations between these tertiary education indicators and GNI per capita across income groups. It also finds positive correlations between service sector growth, unemployment among those with tertiary education, and the tertiary educated labor force.
India continues to witness strong economic growth that is aided by major economic reforms and transformation that country has witnessed in the past years. It is a well-accepted fact that major long-term and sustainable economic growth happens on the back of robust human resources capabilities that requires a strong education system. The Indian Higher Education sector is expected to play an even more important role to meet the growth aspirations of the country. The Indian education sector with around 800 universities will play a pivotal role in providing workforce and developing our leaders of the future.
Final project- Data for Better Lives- Digital ArtifactBezawit5
It is with great pleasure that I present this final project after enrolling into the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC): Data for Better Lives: A New Social Contract.
This course based on the World Bank’s World Development Report 2021: Data for Better Lives, meticulously addressed the tremendous and untapped potential of data along with its harmful power when unused or misused and thereby emphasized on the need for a social contract to harness and divert the potential of data to bring about development changes, specially in the context of developing countries, while fostering trust through an ecosystem of data governance.
This course provides a whole new perspective on data and its linkage with development. Among the many takeaways, the emphasis on the creation of an Integrated National Data System (INDS), provides a holistic approach on how data can be produced, used/reused/repurposed, the main actors in this process, and the pillars needed to make better and sustainable use of data for development purpose.
This document summarizes the key topics discussed in Break-Out Session 3 of the Southeast Asia Regional Policy Network on Education and Skills regarding governance of skills systems. The session addressed how effective governance systems can help countries improve skills delivery and labor market outcomes through: 1) enhanced coordination across ministries and levels of government; 2) engagement of labor market and civil society actors; 3) use of high-quality data for inclusive policymaking; and 4) diversified and effective funding. Speakers from the Philippines, Australia, and Indonesia shared their country experiences on these governance challenges and strategies.
This document describes a data warehousing and business intelligence project on agriculture in the European Union. It discusses 6 sources of structured and unstructured data that are used, including databases on crop production, agricultural trade, and population. It also outlines the ETL process, data model, and business requirements of analyzing changes in agricultural land, crop production, and trade with the US in relation to population growth across EU countries over time.

AN ECONOMIC ANALYSIS OF PUBLIC EXPENDITURE ON SOCIAL SECTORS IN INDIA FROM 20...IAEME Publication
This document analyzes public expenditure on social sectors in India from 2001-2002 to 2017-2018. It finds that development expenditure and its social services component have increased substantially over this period. Social services expenditure increased on average by 14.04% annually. The largest shares of social services expenditure were on education, medical and public health, and social security. Expenditure on education, medical and public health increased the most over the period, by around 10 times each. The study uses secondary data and statistical analysis to examine trends in public expenditure on various social sectors in India.
Developed a warehouse by merging multiple datasets using SSAS and SSIS. Created Star Schema with automation and derived business intelligence queries using visualization on a Tableau to analyze the outcomes of Indian agriculture appropriately.
HR Webinar: The New EEO-1 Component 2 Reporting Requirement: Are You Ready?Ascentis
With the decision by Judge Tanya Chutkan of the DC Federal District Court in National Women's Law Center, et al., v. Office of Management and Budget, et al., Civil Action No. 17-cv-2458 (D.D.C.), now appearing to be final, the EEOC announced on July 15, 2019, that the EEO-1 Component 2 reporting portal is now open, and login information was being sent to approx. 1.6 million employer "establishments" who are required to complete this reporting by September 30, 2019. As a reminder, this reporting requirement, which has been pending EEOC "activation" for more than three years, requires employers to categorize employees by pay range, report their annual hours worked, and classify by race, gender and job classification already being reported in existing ("Component 1") information. The initial intent of this data collection was to begin the first-ever, data-driven effort to close the 19% gender pay equity gap recognized within the US.
In this webinar we will review the history of the requirement, the assortment of reporting tools released by the EEOC in July 2019 designed to help with the required reporting and give an update on the expected August posting by the EEOC including when employers are expected to begin uploading Component-2 data in CV format to the EEOC website.
Making Gender Targets Count: Time for G20 Leaders to DeliverGabriela Ramos
The document discusses gender targets set by the G20 to reduce the gender gap in labor force participation rates by 25% by 2025. It provides background on analysis by the OECD showing the economic benefits of addressing gender gaps. Considerable progress has already been made in many G20 countries towards meeting the target ahead of schedule. The OECD will continue monitoring progress on the target and promoting gender equality policies through its work.

Gender statistics are defined as statistics that adequately reflect differences and inequalities in the situation of women and men in all areas of life (UN, 2006). Policy makers, practitioners and activists can use gender statistics to analyse and identify the differences and inequalities between women and men, their priorities and needs, and hence contribute to the development of and feedback on policies and programmes to maximum the development benefits for both women and men. The establishment and development of the gender statistics system has been increasingly critical for governmental agencies, research institutes, socio-political organizations, civil social organizations and individuals in order to advocate, develop, implement and monitor socio-economic development policies and programmes, ensuring substantive gender equality in all areas
IAMAI Factly Report: People below age 20 or above 50 more susceptible to fake...Social Samosa
An extensive survey based study titled, ‘Countering Misinformation (Fake News) in India’ by Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) and Factly has found that people below the age of 20 or those above the age of 50 are most susceptible to be swayed by fake news.
This document introduces the Gender, Institutions and Development (GID) database, which aims to better understand factors influencing gender inequality across countries. The GID improves on existing data sources by including institutional variables related to social norms, laws, and traditions that influence women's economic roles. It conceptualizes gender inequality as being determined by social institutions, women's access to resources, economic development levels, and their interactions. The GID incorporates a variety of data sources to document these relationships and allow analysis of how changing institutions and development can impact gender equality over time.
Extending internet access in developing countries has the potential to generate significant economic and social benefits:
- Increased internet access could raise GDP by $2.2 trillion and lift over 160 million people out of extreme poverty. It could also generate over 140 million new jobs.
- Improved access to information online could save nearly 2.5 million lives from better disease prevention and management of conditions like HIV/AIDS. It could also reduce child mortality and increase life expectancy.
- An additional 640 million children may be able to access educational resources online, improving learning outcomes and making populations more employable overall.

Abstract
Gender Equality is nothing but a human right which makes all the people to live
their life with dignity and freedom regardless of the gender. Women empowerment
in one way plays a crucial role in decreasing the gender inequality and the other
side it paves path for economic development of the countries. But unfortunately,
from centuries women are the victims of this gender discrimination in our society.
Keeping the status of Women in various fields like education, employment and
politics in different countries. In this paper an attempt is made to present important
factors of inequalities that exist in countries worldwide and how they are changing
from past few years so as to have an idea about to what extent the women are
empowered. For this analysis the Data Science is the correct approach for having
a right visualization and analyzing the present growth and the future prediction to
improve the gender equality.
1 Introduction
Gender Inequality becomes one of the major concerns of the society. From past few
centuries struggling to get equality in gender in all the aspects of life but still women
are lacking in few areas of development. And women are facing gender discrimination in
many sectors like in Education, higher designations in companies, Parliament member
etc., But this discrimination is indirectly leading to the economic degradation of the
countries because when the women is well educated and empowered then the families will
improve which in turn leads to the economic development of the society. Now a days
women are coming out from the shell which society made that women should be limited
to them because of that we are able to see a little growth of women in society. So, all
these concerns made me to think about the necessity of gender equality and I choose
this topic for my project. Here my data sets consist of data regarding women and men
employability, seats held by women in national parliament, literacy rate, Mean years of
schooling and global gender gap index. By using these data, we can analyze by making
BI queries how far the development of women Is taking place and where it is lagging.
(Req-1) My first requirement is to analyze that Employability of women in different sectors
like Agriculture, Industry and Services and Women in politics and comparing the
gap between men and women Region years for the years 2010 to 2018
(Req-2) My second requirement is to compare the literacy rate and means of schooling
women and men and analyzing the gap between the over years from 1990 to 2016.

national parliament for some random years
from 1990 to 2018.
UNICEF Structured It contains the data of Literacy Rate of male
and female from 1986 to 2016, which is a
statistical update of 2018.
UNDP Structured In this site two data sets are downloaded,
Mean years of Schooling of male and Mean
years of Schooling of female over the years
1986 to 2016, which is a statistical update
of 2018. Where both data sets are combined
and structured using R

Table 2: Summary of sources of data used in the project
(Req-3) My Third BI Query is easy Analyze whether this gender gap is based on Region or
Income level of the countries or depends on population of country.
2 Data Sources
Sources of data used in the project.
2.1 Source 1: ILO
ILO Contains the data for the Employment of women and men in different sectors which
helps us to compare that employability rate between the women and men and also to know
in which sectors the women have to improve this will be visualized further in the business
intelligence(BI) query. The link for the data is https://www.ilo.org/wesodata/
2.2 Source 2: UN data
Downloaded the csv file which contains the data of Percentage of women sharing the seats
in national parliament. By this data we can analyze how much the women are empowered
in our parliament and how much of growth taking place every year. This source2 is
7. combined with source 1 and used in our first BI query to show the growth rate of women
in different sectors by comparing with men. The source link is http://data.un.org/
2.3 Source 3: UNICEF
The link for data source is https://data.unicef.org/topic/education/literacy/
.From this site we have got structured data source contains the information on literacy
rate of men and women over years, where literacy is one of the main components of
economic growth of the countries. Further we will be visualizing this data in our second
BI Query.
2.4 Source 4: UNDP
UNDP means United Nations Development program, which contains a huge amount of
data related to the growth of countries. From this site we have taken two structured
data set for Mean years of Schooling Male and Mean years of Schooling Female. As the
education in turn helps in making the good society both in economically and techno-
logically. So we have used this source 4 with Source 3 and will be visualizing later in
our BI query 2 to analyze how the mean years of schooling effecting literacy rate and
also what percentage of female are lacking in education than men. The link for data is
http://hdr.undp.org/en/data
2.5 Source 5: Statista
Statista was the fifth source which is also used as structured data, The link for data set is
https://www.statista.com/statistics/262879/countries-with-the-largest-population/
.This data set contains the ten largest populated countries In the year 2018.We are using
this population of the countries to find whether gender equality depends on population
or on other factors which we can see in our third BI query.
2.6 Source 6: The World Bank
The World Bank was the last source, in which have used two data sets one is structured
and other is unstructured data. https://tcdata360.worldbank.org/indicators/af52ebe9?
country=BRAindicator=27959viz=line_chartyears=2006,2018indicators=944
compareBy=region this data set contains the data of global gender gap index for different
indicators for all the countries by which we can easily analyze what percentage of women
are facing gender inequalities.
Another data for this project was also from this source https://datahelpdesk.
worldbank.org/knowledgebase/articles/906519 which we web scraped using R. This
contains the data of World Countries Region wise and Income Level of the Countries
wise which is used for us to analyze our data based on this parameters to get more clear
idea on which areas and fields we are having gender inequalities and what should be in
particular fields to improve empowerment of women which we will be visualized in our
BI Queries later.
8. 3 Related Work
A number of studies have shown that sustainable development is impossible without
women’s empowerment and gender equality. Consequently, it is asserted that gender
equality is both a human rights issue and a precondition for, and indicator of, sustainable
development (Alvarez and Lopez, 2013).
Providing women and girls with equal access to education, health care, decent work,
and representation in political and economic decision-making processes will fuel sus-
tainable economies and benefit societies and humanity at large (United Nations (n.d.)
Sustainable Development).This gender inequality can be observed in several aspects of
daily life such as access to education, job opportunities, and economic resources (United
Nations Development Programme [UNDP], 2015). When compared to men, women have
greater access to the use of force, greater access to resource control, and more advanta-
geous cultural ideologies.
According to the report of (United Nations (n.d.) Sustainable Development), nearly
in 18 countries, husbands can legally prevent their wives from working; in 39 countries,
daughters and sons do not have equal inheritance rights; and 49 countries lack laws
protecting women from domestic violence. Only 52 per cent of women married or in a
union freely make their own decisions about sexual relations, contraceptive use and health
care.
In 2011 only 20 percent of the low-income nations had achieved gender parity in
primary education and 66 Percent of the worlds 774 million illiterate adults were still
women. There is consensus that gender equity is an important goal to be achieved (e.g.,
UN Women, 2011).In 2016, the women literacy rate increased to 89 percent(UNICEF).
Women are attaining sustainable growth in education, but they were not getting equal
opportunities to prove themselves.
Globally, the labour force participation rate for men and women aged 15 and over
continues its long-term decline; it stands at 61.8 per cent in 2018, down by 1.4 percent-
age points over the past decade. The decline in womens participation rate has been
slower than that of men, resulting in a slight narrowing of the gender gap. These trends
reflect different patterns across the life cycle, resulting from changes in both education
participation among youth and, at the other end of the scale, older workers retirement
choices. The headline finding, however, is that, on average around the world, women
remain much less likely to participate in the labour market than men. At 48.5 per cent
in 2018, womens global labour force participation rate is 26.5 percentage points below
that of men (table 1). Since 1990, this gap has narrowed by 2 percentage points, with
the bulk of the reduction occurring in the years up to 2009. The rate of improvement,
which has been slowing since 2009, is expected to grind to a halt during 201821, and
possibly even reverse, potentially negating the relatively minor improvements in gender
equality in access to the labour market achieved over the past decade. (International
Labour organization -Trends for women 2018).
Greater participation of women in social and political sphere is essential to make the
social and political institutions more representative. It serves as a tool for empowerment
of women and contributes to gender sensitive decision making. Globally, there are 29
States in which women account for less than 10 per cent of parliamentarians in single or
lower houses, as of November 2018, including 4 chambers with no women at all (ibid.).
Wide variations remain in the average percentages of women parliamentarians in each
region. As of November 2018, these were (single, lower and upper houses combined):
9. Nordic countries, 42.3 percent; Americas, 30 percent; Europe including Nordic countries,
27.7 percent; Europe excluding Nordic countries, 26.6 percent; sub-Saharan Africa, 23.6
percent; Asia, 19.4 percent; Arab States, 17.8 percent; and the Pacific, 17 percent (Inter-
Parliamentary Union, 2018).
Womens representation in local governments can make a difference. Research on pan-
chayats (local councils) in India discovered that the number of drinking water projects
in areas with women-led councils was 62 per cent higher than in those with men-led
councils. In Norway, a direct causal relationship between the presence of women in
municipal councils and childcare coverage was found. (R. Chattopadhyay and E. Duflo,
2014).Women demonstrate political leadership by working across party lines through par-
liamentary woman’s caucuses - even in the most politically combative environments - and
by championing issues of gender equality, such as the elimination of gender-based violence,
parental leave and childcare, pensions, gender-equality laws and electoral reform.
4 Data Model
This section we can see the information about the dimensions created in SSIS. There are
seven dimension and one fact table which are connected using star schema as shown in
the below Figure 1. The star schema further separates the business process data into
facts which has measurable data.
Figure 1: Star Schema
Detailed discussion on Facts and Dimension as follows:
Dim Country: Dim Country contains the names of all the countries. This data was
obtained from the World Bank and Statista.
Dim Region: Dim Region contains the names of all the region which was taken by
selecting distinct Regions to analyze our data Region wise. This data was gathered from
10. The world Bank.
Dim Income: Dim Income contains the names of all the income level of the countries
was taken by selecting distinct income level of the country to analyze our data by Income
level country wise. This data is also gathered from The World Bank
Dim Sector; Dim Sector contains the different sectors of occupations of men and
women. In data is collected from these two data sources ILO and UN data.
Dim Gender: Dim Gender contains the rows of Gender as Female or Male, which is
important dimension in our project as we are comparing every field on gender to know
the gender inequalities. The data is obtained from ILO, UNICEF, UNDP and The World
Bank.
Dim Year: Dim Year contains the years which will be used to analyze the how growth
rate is changing over years.The data is collected form ILO, UNICEF, UNDP and The
World Bank.
Dim Indicator: Dim Indicator Contains the fields which indicate the gender gap index
such as educational attainment, health and survival index etc., by combining this dimen-
sion with some other dimensions and fact table we can analyze the gender gap between
men and women.
Fact Women Empowerment: Fact table is interlinked with all the dimensions which
includes measures and foreign keys from the connected dimensions which are having the
country id, region id, income level id, sector id, gender id, year id, percentage of women
and men in different sectors, percentage of literacy, mean years of schooling, global gender
gap subindex, number of inhabitants in millions.

15. 6 ETL Process
ETL is a process where the data is extracted and cleaned and then transformed into a
format which is easy to use and then loaded into database by staging process.
Extract
The common step in every ETL process to extract the data, where exploratory data
analysis involves identifying the correct data which serves our purpose. It mostly depends
on what kind of data we are searching, and it can be scrapped or downloaded from
different sources and the data should be cleaned to utilize it in a proper manner. Over
here there are 6 sources which are been used from ILO, UN data , UNICEF, UNDP,
Statista and also the data is web scrapped using R from The World bank. After getting
data from these sources it is fully cleaned in R and converted in to csv file format for
further process.
Transform
After collecting data from the extraction process. The next step is to transform the
data. Here the data is transferred to the target destination. But cleaning of data is more
important before transferring the data to serve our purpose of analysis Which involves
removal of commas and special characters in the text , removal of null values and any
unnecessary data, Transpose of row and columns and adding or replacing new column
names to have similarity with other sources. After completing this cleaning process then
it is stored in a csv file format for the loading process.
Load
After getting the cleaning and transformed data, the following step is loading of data
into the staging area through the automation process in r. After automated in R in SSIS,
all the sources will populate raw tables with data which is further used to create fact table
and dimension tables. Here fact tables consists of measure values in it which are country
id, region id, income level id, sector id, gender id, year id, percentage of women and men
in different sectors, percentage of literacy, mean years of schooling, global gender gap
subindex, number of inhabitants in millions. And similar way all the Dimension table
contains the primary key ids which are connected to fact table as foreign keys to create
a star schema. After creating star schema in SSIS then we deploy the cube and create
hierarchy. After this process our database is ready for analyzing and visualize our BI
queries in Tableau
7 Application
Below are three BI Queries noted in Section 1 which we are going to analyze in our
project.
7.1 BI Query 1: Is there any growth of women in different
employment sectors and also in political sector?
For this query, the contributing sources of data are ILO, World Bank. The visualization
obtained as illustrated in Figure 2. Here it demonstrates the women and men employa-
bility in different sectors for the years 2010 to 2018 Region wise. So here we can see that
women have equal opportunities or more in Services sectors, but women have very less
priority in parliament sector in all the regions and the growth is negligible over years. In
16. the other two sectors, agriculture men and women are having more or less equal oppor-
tunities and in industry sector as well women having less opportunities than men. So,
the overall graph shows women are facing gender inequalities in all the sectors especially
more in Parliament sector.
Figure 2: Results for BI Query 1
7.2 BI Query 2:status of growth of women in educational at-
tainment?
The data sets used for my second query are UNICEF and UNDP. The visualization
obtained as illustrated in Figure 3. In this we have compared the literacy rate and mean
years of schooling of men and women. From the analysis we can found that mean years of
schooling of women increasing over years from 1990 to 2016 which in turn increasing the
literacy rate. Hence there is significant growth rate of women in education attainment
but still there exists a gender gap when compared to men.
Figure 3: Results for BI Query 2
7.3 BI Query 3: On which factors the gender gap is depending
Regions, income level of the countries or population of the
countries?
The data sets from The World Bank and Statista are used in this BI Query. The vi-
sualization obtained as illustrated in Figure 4. Here we made comparison between the
17. population of the countries, Region of the countries and income level of the countries
using Global Gender gap index. Here we can see the population is not affecting the
global gender gap directly. But the income level of the countries and regions are affecting
the global gender gap. Hence necessary measures are taken to improve the low-income
economies so that we can have significant economic growth.
Figure 4: Results for BI Query 3
7.4 Discussion
In this section I’m going to discuss more about the BI query and how it deals with the
present situations faced by women in society. My first does the growth rate of women in
different sectors. As per the outcome of visualization there is wide gender gap between
men and women and also women in different areas. In Agriculture and Services sectors
for the regions South Asia and Sub Saharan Africa the employment of women is high
in Agriculture and less in Services sector, which indicates that women are facing major
gender inequalities in these areas when compared to others. And, in every region the gap
between men and women in political sector is very high.
Second BI query represents that mean years of schooling over the years from 1996 to
2016 has drastic growth and also correspondingly there was growth in literacy rate. But
even though the literacy rate increasing still there is a gap between men and women and
women are lagging behind men.
Third BI query ask for on which factor the gender gap is depending, here if we see the
population of China which is far higher than Brazil , and if we compare the Economic
opportunity index of Brazil and China both are equal . By this we can say that the
population is not affecting the gender gap directly. In the same way if see the graph of
income level of countries and the education attainment index is low when compared to
other income economies. We can say that Region and Income level of the countries are
affecting the gender gap.
8 Conclusion and Future Work
Providing education for women in less developed countries. Providing self-empowerment
and self-help groups. And also providing equal opportunities for women in all the sectors.
Women should have given more place in parliament. Encouraging women to develop in
their field at which they are good at and make a career. Other than this, society should
change the mentality toward the word Women
After all the discussion, it can be concluded that all the three Bi Queries are well
analyzed, and the data is up to date as compared to the other sources of reports and
18. papers done above. It can be said new laws and awareness programs must be started for
women empowerment. Data warehousing and business intelligence is the best approach
to analyze the present situation and to forecast the future development programs to be
done for development of women.
