Part 1: Definitions and Explanations
a. Variable Set #1: Life Expectancy- the average number of years a newborn child is suspected to live is current mortality patterns would stay the dame throughout there lifetime.
Human Development Index- an index used to rank countries by level of "human development". It contains three dimensions: health level, education level and living standard.
Variable Set #2: Children Per Women- total fertility rate. The number of children that would be born to each woman with prevailing age-specific fertility rates. Income Per Person- gross domestic product per
person adjusted for differences in purchasing power.
b. A developed country normally has a higher life expectancy, because they have the recourses to cure diseases, infecting and killing LDC's. A more developed country will also have a higher HDI because they will have a better standard of living with a high health and education level. As a country becomes more developed they women start having less children due to costs and job opportunities. In a MDC the income made by people is greater helping them provide for their family.
Part 2: Chart Analysis
a. Variable Set #1: Throughout the years 1980-2010 the countries mainly stay in a diagonal line with the America's, Europe and Central Asia in the top more developed countries, East Asia, Pacific, Middle East and North Africa in the middle with a couple up at the top with the America's, South Asia and Sub-Saharan are the bottom less developed countries. Some countries like Rwanda make a big result in life expectancy and a result of war, famine, or disease. Variable Set #2: Throughout the years 1800-2000 the countries start in a tight clump which eventually scatters and ends in a diagonal line. The countries that break away from the clump first is Europe and Central Asia and they end up in the MDCs along with the America's and a couple of East Asia and Pacific countries. Middle East, North Africa and Sub-Saharan Africa spread out really wide before coming together again at the end.
b. Europe and Central Asia are the first countries to start to advance because they were the start of many revolutions. The "geographic luck" of some countries puts them in the position of not being able to develop in any kind because they are focusing on surviving over progressing life. Many countries in Sub-Saharan Africa the girls have little to no schooling so instead of having jobs they take care of their many children.
