Life Expectancy Rate across the world

SOUTH AMERICA (MANIT)

The following graph shows the trends of life expectancy over the past for south american

nations contributing to the majority of population in the continent.

INFERENCE AND ANALYSIS

On average the south american population has made rapid gains 60 years in terms of life
expectancy.The majority of the increase occurred between 1960 to 2000 the main reason
for this is 1960 and 2000, which were essentially independent of wages, gains in welfare
were equivalent to those resulting from income increases. For countries in the field, health-
related welfare improvement figures raise the numbers collected from income alone by an
average of 40 per cent. The evidence available indicates that the answer could have been
changed in public health facilities, such as the provision of treated water and sewerage
systems, and large-scale immunisation programmes taken by organizations at international
and at national levels.
Bolivia has the lowest life expectancy rate due to various factors. The first and foremost
reason for this is that less than 10 percent of rural households had access to improved
sanitation over the past. Some improvement can be seen over the beginning of the 21st
century, which follows the global trend due to developments in modern medicine. Overall
average of South America is less than the developed nations excluding eastern Europe as
the developing world faces the problem of improper health care infrastructure.

The Life expectancy at birth in Australia has increased dramatically over the last 50 years,
like many developing countries. Significant declines in mortality rates, especially for
children, and improvements in the prevalence of disease patterns have led to the longer
life of the Australian population than previously documented. Life expectancy at birth rose
in Australia at a respectable rate from 1960 to 2011, both in absolute numbers and when
compared to other high-income countries. As of 1960, Australia's major contributor to
higher rises in life expectancy was reduced mortality from ischaemic heart disease.
However, after 1970, Australian life expectancy dramatically increased, compared
favourably with that of other high-income countries. Public health initiatives, including
those aimed at reducing cigarette smoking and improving road safety, have been linked to
substantial declines in mortality from specific causes, especially among males (according to
various reports). By the start of the year 2000, life expectancy for Australians was among
the highest in the world.
