Options:

  1. dataset: "population"

  2. raw_data: there are two options:

    • TRUE: if you want the data as it is originally.
    • FALSE: if you want the treated version of the data.

  3. geo_level: "country", "state", or "municipality"

  4. time_period: picks the years for which the data will be downloaded

  5. language: you can choose between Portuguese ("pt") and English ("eng")

Examples:

# download treated population data at the state level for 2010 to 2012
data <- load_population(raw_data = FALSE,
                        geo_level = "state",
                        time_period = 2010:2012)
