The table presents data on four different aspects of standards of living in five countries, including economical indicators, daily energy intake and health statistics. Overall, it is noticeable that the USA has the highest living standards, while Bangladesh shows the opposite tendency. In addition, the other countries – Bolivia, Egypt and Indonesia – have similar figures in almost every category.
Looking first at the extremes, the United States of America significantly stands out in GNP and Infant mortality rates. In the 2010 Gross National Product per head counted 13160 dollars, that was as 94 times as big as the same indicator in Bangladesh, where it reached only 140 dollars per head. A good economical situation directly improved all the other features: the USA citizens could afford to intake 3653 calories daily, their life expectancy was the highest among the other countries – 74, while the infant mortality rate was the lowest with 12 per 1000 live births. In comparison, people in Bangladesh consumed roughly a half of that number of calories (1877), lived for 40 years and faced the highest rate of infant mortality – 132.
The other three nations show almost equal numbers. However, Egypt was a leader in the middle sector with the highest numbers in criterion, but for the infant mortality rate, where Bolivia has more accidents (124). Otherwise, Indonesia and Bolivia have small differences in all the rest of the sections.
