What is in it

The data behind any Our World in Data chart (about 5,000): health, demography, economy, energy, environment, education, poverty, by country and year, with each indicator's sources and their licences. Load a chart by its slug (the end of its URL, e.g. life-expectancy).

In e2er's words, from the source's definition.
