Developing countries typically have lower life expectancies due to a lack of nutritious food, safe drinking water, and medical attention. An overpopulation of people is caused by a lower infant mortality rate or better medical facilities in a country and it may cause air pollution, depletion of valuable resources, and less job opportunities. Most countries would love the number over 1000 to be zero in the infant mortality rate but many factors prevent children to live.
Low life expectancies can influence the fall of a country. The lowest life expectancies are located in Africa where malnutrition is present and the water is not safe to drink. In these developing countries there is not proper medication or sterile areas to treat infections and other diseases. This causes people to die at a young age since there infection or disease only continues to worsen.
