Usage 

from datasets import load_dataset

ds = load_dataset("electricsheepafrica/africa-mauritius-wage-rate-indices-219a0ef4")
df = ds["train"].to_pandas()
print(df.head())

Filter to one country 

sample_country = df[df["country_iso3"] == "MU"]

Work with indicators 

if "indicator_id" in df.columns:
