Dataset for "Women in UN Police Peacekeeping: Trends and Determinants of Female Participation in African Missions (2015–2024)1"

This dataset contains country-year observations of police-contributing countries to United Nations peacekeeping missions in Africa from 2015 to 2024. It includes variables on female labour force participation rate, GDP per capita, population size, total police deployment, female police participation, and derived indicators of gender representation. The dataset was compiled from publicly available World Bank, United Nations peacekeeping statistics and supplementary data from Kaggle. Data cleaning involved standardising country names, handling missing values, and generating participation rates.
