Data

DATA.NPFL112/gapminder_literacy.tsv

Continents are in the world4_region column.

Years

Filter the data frame to keep only the earliest and the most recent year. You do not have to care whether they contain exactly the same countries.

Boxplots and facets

Write a piece of code that produces a plot like below (or as similar as you can get and explain what your issue was if you get stuck). For the boxplots to “properly sit” on the x-axis ticks, you need to convert the time variable to a factor. You can do it directly in ggplot, as you can deduce from the title of the x-axis.
