Gathering population data

As we stated previously in the Technical requirements section, the population data for this chapter is available at the Our World In Data website. The data that we will be using pertains to two specific topics: fertility and population growth and child mortality and population growth. Let's look at how to gather this data:

1. Visit the World Population Growth page at the Our World In Data website—https://ourworldindata.org/world-population-growth/ Or (shortened link)—http://bit.ly/2FF09DU.

1. Navigate to the Child mortality and population growth graph:

1. Download the data by clicking the Data tab on the chart and clicking on the file.
2. You should end up with a file called child-mortality-vs-population-growth.csv.
