Sydney Bristow probably compiled these all by herself: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/geos/mi.html
Life expectancy at birth: 43.82 years
(Malawi is ranked 216 out of 224 in terms of life expectancy. The U.S. is ranked at 50, behind Bosnia-Herzegovnia, Israel, pretty much all of western Europe, and Macau at the #1 spot. The nations that have lower life expectancy, in descending order: Djibouti, Liberia, Sierra Leone, Mozambique, Lesotho, Zambia, Angola, Swaziland.) But back to the country at hand --
HIV adult prevalence: 11.9%
Literacy: 62.7%
Population: 14,268,711
Area: slightly smaller than Pennsylvania
Population below the poverty line: 53%, or 7,562,417 people (I did math!)

ReplyDeleteSure, U.S. life expectancy is lower than Western Europe...but the flipside of that coin is that I am never more than a 15 minute drive from an Arby's Beef and Cheddar sandwich(es).
ReplyDeleteTotally worth it.
