The bar chart given illustrates the proportions of expenditure on health and education in the UAE over a seven-year period, from 1985 to 1993, while the line graph elucidates the numbers of infant mortality and life expectancy over a twenty-two-year period, ending in 1992 . Viewed together, there appears to be a relationship between the expenditure spent on health and education and the numbers of infant mortality and life expectancy.
According to the bar chart, it is evident that the percentages of expenditure on health and education experienced upward trends. The expenditure spent on health stood at just under 10.00% in 1985. Throughout the period, it suffered a slight decrease to around 6.50% by 1990 before reaching a high of 10.00% in the final year. Similarly, the expenditure spent on education was initially nearly 10.00% in the year 1985. During the period, it showed a significant increase every year, peaking at approximately 14.40% in the final year.
As can be clearly seen from the line graph, in 1970, the numbers of infant mortality and life expectancy began with around 70 units and 60 units, respectively. Over the period, the life expectancy exhibited a gradual climb to just over 70 years in 1992. Conversely, the infant mortality showed a sharp drop to nearly 20 cases per 1000 births in the year 1992.
Overall, there was a positive correlation between the expenditure on health and education and the numbers of infant mortality and life expectancy. After being spent more on health, the life expectancy was improved and the infant mortality decreased.
