Question

two hundred words

When you click on the health indicator of your choice, you will see a table with a list of 247 countries in the first column and dates in the top row. Look at the most recent year data and choose one (1) country to compare to the U.S.

Adolescent fertility rate (births per 1,000 women ages 15-19) https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.ADO.TFRT

State the year, rates of the indicator you chose for both the U.S. and the country you chose, as well as the name of the country. Include the units for the rates (ex. 6 deaths per 100,000 women) and discuss what it means and how they were calculated. Discuss the similarity/difference in these rates and why you believe the similarity/difference occurs?

Explanation / Answer

Year: 2015

Rates of indicator: 23.2924

Unit of rates: 24 births per 1000 women

Year: 2015

Rates of indicator: 21.1538

Unit of rates: 21 births per 1000 women

Adolescent fertility rate = Number of live births to women aged 1519 years / exposure to childbearing by women aged 1519 years
