Health Gains in Developing Countries
The developing countries have made great strides in the health conditions of their populations. The above graphs show that between 1960 and 1990 life expectancy in these countries increased from about 40 to almost 60. At the same time infant mortality declined from roughly 200 deaths for every 1,000 births to around 100.
There are two main reasons for this improvement. The first is that the economics of those countries have developed rapidly in recent decades. And consequently (as a result), there is more money available for health care. The second is that the governments of developing countries are paying more attention to education in hygiene.
If this trend continues, developing countries will soon approach the developed countries in terms of health care. People will live longer and healthier lives. The result of this will be happier and more productive populations.
