Life Expectancy

Today, we talked about life expectancy , crude birth/death rate, net migration, immigration, emigration and more. Life expectancy is the average number of years to be lived by a group of people born in the same year. Crude birth rate is the number of births per 1,000 people and crude death rate it the number of deaths per 1,000 people. Net migration is the difference between the number of people leaving or entering a country during a year. Net immigration is the number of people entering the country  and net emigration is an excess of people leaving a country. After we talked about this, we went to www.cia.gov and looked at statistics for Mexico. The net migration rate used to be more than -3 for 1,000 population and now it's -1.64. The number of people leaving Mexico has gone down dramatically. I looked at some other statistics for Mexico and noticed some other things. The infant mortality rate is 12.58/1,000 live births. This has probably gone up from what it was a couple of years ago. The average life expectancy is 75.43 and this is only a few years under the United States.
