The following graph compares the total Life expectancy in each Country on the Y axis and the total fertility rate of woman in each Country on the X axis. The Life expectancy ranges from 47 to 83 years with most Countries in between the 60 and 83 range. Japan is recorded the highest with an expectancy of 83 and Lesotho lowest with 48 years. On the other hand, the children per woman ranges from 1 to 7 with the majority being in between 1 and 2. Niger is the highest with 7 children per woman and Hong Kong with an average of only 1.1 children.
This data shows that the more children a female has, the shorter that they are expected to live. For example, because of the high fertility rate in Niger, woman are only expected to live until they are 55, and even in Sierra Leone, with an average of 3 children, they are only expected to live until 48. This information is the way it is because of the amount of stress, weight and unhealthy factors that are involved during and after pregnancy. For example, woman tend to eat more during pregnancy and gain weight. Many end up keeping the weight afterwards which is just unhealthy. As well, stress levels rise with the more children that a woman has. 1 child is easy to take care of, but when more are put into question, that changes. It is proven that the more stress that someone has, the shorter they have to live.
All in all, this was a very eye opening comparison of life and explains one of the reasons why certain Countries have shorter life expectancy than others.
When introduced to this program i was astonished on how accurate and amazing that data was once completed. I did mine on CO2 omissions and population and boy was it accurate. I personally am going to use this program in University if i feel it would be appropriate. I do like your comparison i never would have thought to compare the two but after seeing this i'm really shocked about the answer, i never would have expected that. This goes to show that things may not always be as it seems.
