21. POPULATION CHECK-IN

23. INFANT MORTALITY RATE
Number of infants who die per every thousand births in that country.
Gives you insight into how strong/weak a country’s healthcare system is.

24. LIFE EXPECTANCY
The number of years on average a person from that country could expect to live.
Another way to see how strong/weak a country’s health care is.

25. PER CAPITA GROSS DOMESTIC PRODUCT (GDP)28
Total value of all the goods (stuff) and services (help) produced by an average person in a country over a year (NOT how much they earn).
This tells you if a country has high-skilled or low-skilled workers.

26. PER CAPITA INCOME 29

healthcare (health clinics, hospitals, laboratories, etc.)
education (K-12, college, job training, etc.)
The basic building blocks for a country to have a strong economy

28. LITERACY RATES 31
The percentage of people who can read and write in a country
Tells you how well educated a country is
Also shows how much/ little equality there is between men & women

29. RATE of NATURAL INCREASE
Birth Rate – Death Rate (w/o factoring in immigrations) for the most recent year available
Shows how fast/slow a country’s population is growing. . . usually countries that grow faster are less developed and countries that grow slower are more developed

30. COMMERCIAL AGRICULTURE
Large scale farming/ranching, to sell for a profit, often beyond the local area
Found in both newly industrialized and more developed countries.

31. COTTAGE INDUSTRY
Small scale production, often done in one’s home, for sale in the local area
Found everywhere, but more common in less developed countries

32. COMMERCIAL INDUSTRY
Large scale production, usually in a factory, to be sold beyond the local area
