World Bank Gender Statistics provides a dataset on the percentage of respondents aged 15 and over who report damage to their home or livestock from natural disasters in the past three years. The data is derived from survey responses, though the specific number of respondents, countries, and years is not detailed. It captures self-reported impacts of severe weather events on household assets.
Use Cases
- Analyze correlations between reported damage percentages and regional poverty indices using the survey response metric.
- Model temporal trends in disaster impact on livestock by comparing survey waves over different three-year periods.
- Benchmark national-level household vulnerability by comparing the damage percentage across different countries or regions.
Strengths
- Data focuses on a specific, policy-relevant metric: percentage of population reporting damage.
- Survey methodology captures direct respondent experiences from a standardized age group (15+).
Limitations
- Sample size, number of countries, and specific survey years are unknown, limiting reproducibility.
- Data relies on self-reported recall over a three-year period, which may introduce bias.
- Lack of column details prevents analysis of disaggregated factors like disaster type or asset value.
