Population pyramid chart with geom_bar() | Professional dataviz with ggplot2 | R

*CORRECTION: I forgot to set the Y axis to absolute values ​​and because of that the labels on the left side of the axis are read negative. To fix it, just replace the command:

scale_y_continuous (breaks = seq (-10,10,1),
labels = function (x) {paste(abs (x), '%')})

The corrected version of the code can be found on my github (url below).]

5 minutes is enough to create a professional-looking and ready for publication chart. In this video i show how to create a population pyramid chart using geom_bar() function from ggplot2 package.

For this example, I use Brazil population data from https://www.populationpyramid.net/.

The code and files can be found on my github repository: https://github.com/sergiocostafh/ggpl...
