Question

Carefully study the chart above. In which of the following countries would you expect to find the lowest life expectancy, the lowest literacy rate, and the most people living in poverty?

Answer 1

2022The average life expectancy at birth among comparable countries was 82.4 years in 2021, down 0.2 years from 2019 and up 0.4 years from 2020. (Note: 2021 life expectancy estimates for Canada are not yet available and therefore excluded in the comparable country average for 2021.)

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the Human Development Index (HDI), which measures key dimensions of human development such as life expectancy, literacy rate and standard of living, the countries with the lowest HDI values in 2019 were Niger, Central African Republic, Chad, South Sudan and Burundi1. These countries also had low life expectancy at birth (ranging from 53.3 to 61.8 years), low literacy rate among adults (ranging from 19.1% to 37.8%) and low gross national income per capita (ranging from $702 to $1,263)2. Therefore, based on these indicators, you would expect to find the lowest life expectancy, the lowest literacy rate and the most people living in poverty in these countries. However, it is important to note that these indicators do not capture all aspects of human development and well-being, and that there may be variations within countries and regions.
