Abstract

[Let’s start by counting the dead. First, by age groupings: in low-income countries, 40 percent of the dead are ages 14 and under, as compared to 1 percent in high-income countries.2 Infant mortality, typically defined as death before five years, is the primary contributor to these rates. 3 Next, looking at people in the age group of 15–69, 43 percent are dead in low-income countries compared to 28 percent in high-income countries. That leaves only 17 percent of people in low-income countries who live to age 70 and older, compared to 71 percent in high-income countries. These data, issued by the World Health Organization, make it apparent that health in a country correlates with the country’s economic status.]
