         Four Indicators of Economic and Social Conditions of 4 Countries
选项
答案 A glance at four indicators of economic and social conditions in four countries, Canada, Japan, Peru and Zaire, in 1994 reflects the great differences that exist between wealthier and poorer nations. The table shows that Japan and Canada had annual incomes of $ 15760 and $ 11100 per person, respectively. These figures were overwhelmingly greater than the corresponding figures of $ 160 in Peru and $ 130 in Zaire. Health indicators, too, reflected overall levels of affluence in the four nations. Life expectancy, for example, was higher among the more economically developed countries. Japan reported the highest life expectancy 78. This was followed by Canada 76; Peru 51; and Zaire 47. This suggests that richer societies are able to put more money into health care than poorer ones. The amount of calories consumed daily per person roughly followed the same ranking. Canadians each consumed some 3326 calories per day while the Japanese took 2846 calories. The corresponding figures for Peru and Zaire were 1927 and 1749 respectively. Literacy rates among adults, too, were higher in wealthier countries, no doubt a reflection of ability to invest in education. Canada and Japan both reported literacy rates of 99%, while Peru claimed 68%, Zaire, the least economically developed of the four countries, had a literacy rate of 34%. The data appear to confirm the often cited link between national wealth and health education standards.
