A small exercise of using pandas and ipywidgets showing the Italian decline.

Italian Demographics

This notebook shows a simple exercise of how to use pandas to read data, combine data, plot data, use interactive widgets from within Jupyter notebooks, write an animation file using matplotlib plotting functions. At the same time, it shows the dramatic decline of Italian demographics from the 80s to today.

Data

Data from the Italian Institute of Statistics, easily downloadable here. I had to manually download edit the single text files to make them readable. Data in the data folder numbered 1-5 corresponds to regional statistics, which I haven't used so far. Also, demographics by age is available.

Notes

For some weird reason data between 2011 and 2018 is not available. Italians don't know their demographics since 2011?!

Also, at the moment my video drivers aren't working properly so I'm not properly generating the video. Do it yourself. For another weird reason, the notebook is not rendering on GitHub.
