WE LIVE IN TWO DEMOGRAPHIC WORLDS

Values for demographic factors differ tremendously between developing nations like many African nations and developed nations like the United States. Most of the world’s population, as well as most population growth, occurs in developing nations, but most wealth is in developed nations. The higher death rate in developed nations is due to an aging population; the much higher infant mortality rate in developing nations reveal the differences in quality of life and health care between the two categories.
