The table shows the information related to population growth, average birth per woman, life expectancy at birth in countries with different income levels from 2002 to 2004.
Overall, the population growth and life expectancy at birth in all countries experienced an upward trend, with the exception of the average birth per woman in the middle and low income countries, which saw a downward trend. Low income countries had the highest percentage in population growth and average birth per woman, and the opposite was true for high income countries.
Moving to a more detailed analysis, the population growth, mean birth per woman, and life expectancy at birth witnessed slight changes in high income countries. There was a minimal decline from 0.8% to 0.7% in the share of population growth between 2002 and 2004. In contrast, the rate of life expectancy at birth increased between 78.0 and 78.7 during the period. As for fertility rate, the share stabilized at 1.7 from 2002 to 2004.
Turning to the next, middle income countries followed the same pattern. The middle income countries saw a moderate growth in life expectancy at birth from 69.1% to 70.0% over the period. While a gradual fall of 0.1%, from 2.2% to 2.1%, was in the fertility rate between 2002 and 2004. Meanwhile, the figure for population growth was stable from 2002 to 2004.
In terms of low income countries, there was the highest rate in population growth and average birth per woman, although life expectancy at birth was the lowest. The period between 2002 and 2004 saw a reduction of 0.2% in the population rise’s proportion, from 2.0% to 1.8%. The same was true for fertility rate, and to a similar trend. In addition, the share of life expectancy at birth underwent a remarkable climb from 58.1 to 58.8 during the period.
