  2. 90% or Nauru's is unemployed and ist total income from exports is 64,000 dollars. The reasoning behind canada's low death rate is that canadians have better health care and perscriptions are cheaper to get.

  3. Out of the countries that i have chose, Mozambique(in Africa), 70% of their population(21,669,278) is below the poverty line. That is around 15,168,494 people.

    The United States has 12% or the population under the poverty line, which is 36,865,454.

  5. By looking up Afghanistan i found out that the life expectancy at birth was 44.4 years. In the USA thats only half your life basically. I agree with Jessica 90% unemployment is horrible. We have under 20% and many people in USA are having a tough time just getting by.

  16. I learned that in South Afica, the normal life spand is about 50 years. Compared to the US which is 78 and Norway 80. Wow pat, 40%. That is not a good number.

  17. I learned that only 52% of people in Morocco above the age of 15 are litterate. Also, only 2.8% of China's population live below the poverty which is way less then the United States which has 12%. And that is so sad that Haiti doesnt even have a percent fro how many people are unemployed. There really should be more jobs available for them.

  18. One thing that i learned was the China has the highest population out of the countries i studied. Also was the death rate many countries have a very high death rate. I am very suprised to Tiffanie's comment about the litterate age and the percentage.

  22. I learned that Dijibouti has a 59% unemployment rate.

    I find it interesting that Kyle found out that some countries have so much oil, they look for places that have none, while the United States is at war for it.
