Survey data from the past three years measures the percentage of female respondents aged 15 and over who report damage to their home or livestock from natural disasters. The dataset is produced by the World Bank's Gender Statistics team. It focuses on the impact of severe weather events on women.
Use Cases
- Analyze the correlation between reported damage percentages and specific disaster events over the three-year period.
- Compare vulnerability metrics (damage to home or livestock) across different female demographic groups within the survey.
- Model the prevalence of disaster-related asset loss among women as a key indicator for resilience programs.
Strengths
- Data is disaggregated by gender (women aged 15+), enabling specific analysis.
- Focuses on a concrete, recent three-year recall period for disaster impact.
Limitations
- Unknown sample size and geographic coverage limit statistical generalizability.
- Relies on self-reported survey data, which may be subject to recall bias.
- Lacks detailed column definitions and granular data on specific disaster types or damage valuation.
