#' Gender gap data
#'
#' From the World Bank description: The Global Gender Gap Index examines the gap
#' between men and women in four fundamental categories (subindexes) and 14
#' different indicators that compose them. The subindexes are Economic
#' Participation and Opportunity, Educational Attainment, Health and Survival
#' and Political Empowerment. The highest possible score is 1 (equality) and the
#' lowest possible score is 0 (inequality).
#'
#' @format Two data frames. The first regards just the gender gap indices.
#'   There is more data for this for most countries, potentially starting as far
#'   back as 2006.  The second data set has only 2018 data but more indicators.
