This chart was made using Female v. Military by Region, Outliers Removed as a base and modified to add menus based on CS573 Week 6 videos. Data was ported from the International Cabinets dataset - reduced to only include country, female ratio, military ratio, retention and government. Color coding was added using the Penguins! chart as a model.

The chart allows the user to plot the female ratio, military ratio and retention rates of governmental cabinets of countries based on region. The ratios are taken as the 11-year average for each country for the years 2006-2016. Countries that experienced regime/system change during the 11-year window are excluded from the dataset.

NOTE: Singapore and Myanmar were removed from the dataset. Singapore's military ratio was 0.36 and its female ratio was 0.05. Myanmar's military ratio was 0.54 and its female ratio was 0.01. These countries were removed because the military ratios were compressing the scale of the x-axis so that it was difficult to observe patterns in the rest of the data

The data is a subset WhoGov's International Cabinets dataset. The dataset contains information about more than 50,000 cabinet members from 177 countries, spanning July 1966 - July 2016. There is a separate entry for each cabinet member, from each country, for each year. Each entry contains information such as party affiliation, gender, age and military affiliation.
