Question 1

Three different countries chosen from the World Bank Classifications are:

USA belongs to High Income Groups.

South Africa belongs to Middle Income Groups.

Afghanistan from Low Income Groups (World Health Organization, 2007)

Life expectancy equals the average number of years a person born in a given country would live if mortality rates at each age were to remain constant in the future. The life expectancy is shown separately for males and females, for chosen countries:

In United State, average life expectancy for people is 79, where man life expectancy is 76 and female life expectancy is 81.

Overall life expectancy for people living in South Africa is 49.4, where male life expectancy is 48.9 and female life expectation is 49.8.

In Afghanistan, overall life expectancy is 43.9, where man life expectancy is 43.8 and female life expectancy is 43.9.

It can be observed that there is still a great difference in figures mentioned above involving time-span of life in third world nations than in many West nations at present. Afghan people are living longer, few newborns are becoming extinct and more females are surviving child birth as health care has radically developed all over the state in the last decade, in accordance with a nationwide survey. It shows that improved admittance to health care, more healthcare units, consulting rooms and treatment centers have drastically made a payment towards an overall development in the wellbeing of most Afghan populations.

Question 2

Population growth percentage is the rise in a country's populace in a phase of time, generally one year, articulated as a rate of the people at the start of that time. It reveals the figure of births and mortalities in the phase and the numeral of populace moving to and from a nation. Afghanistan population is 28.9 million and its population growth rate is 2.4 that is highest amongst South Africa and United States population growth rate, which is 1.2 and 0.7 respectively. . The population growth rate is a feature in deciding how great a load would be forced on a state by the varying requirements of its populace for communications and infrastructures (e.g., schools, clinics, accommodation, networks), basic sources (e.g., foodstuff, clean water, health care and electrical energy), and jobs. Quick increase in population can be seen as intimidating by nearby nations.

In low-income country like Afghanistan, over one third of the populace is below age 15, whereas in high-income country like USA less than one fifth ...
