Mortality Around the World

The idea
The mortality rate is how common death is in a population; in twenty nineteen, WHO put life expectancy in Africa at about sixty-four and a half.
In practice
Southeast Asia, the western Pacific, the Americas and Europe all above seventy-one.
Where people slip
How governments spend, on sanitation, education, health access and women's status, matters more than national income alone.
