Gross Domestic Product and Life Expectancy at Birth

Skills utilized: Data Acquisition, Data Visualization, Hypothesis Testing, Summarizing Quantitative Data, Data Wrangling and Tidying, Data Manipulation with Pandas

Software/Languages: Jupyter Notebook, Python

Project code available here.

The potential relationship of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the life expectancy at birth (LEB) for six nations was investigated.

The data present in the dataset was for the period 2000 to 2015. The following countries were analyzed: Chile, China, Germany, Mexico, United States of America, and Zimbabwe.

The following points were analyzed:

Conclusion: In the given time frame, all six countries experienced a growth in their GDPs, albeit to various degrees. The life expectancy at birth also increased for all six nations, with Zimbabwe experiencing the largest LEB increase despite a relatively modest increase in their GDP.
The life expectancy at birth for all six countries increased as the GDP of the respective nations improved.
