2. Life Expectancy
o People residing in modern developed nations generally have longer lifespans,
measured in years, than those in poor, underdeveloped countries. As an example,
the Development Economics Web Guide contrasted life expectancies in the
United Kingdom, Ghana and Zambia. U.K. residents had a life expectancy
averaging nearly 78 years, far ahead of Ghana's 56.6 and Zambia's 41. Factors
affecting life expectancy include poverty, adequate food supplies and disease. An
increase in life expectancy points to improved social and economic conditions.
