▶ Your Answer :
The graphs illustrate
the number of total fertility and infant mortality from 1970 to 1992.
First of all, in
high income economies, the number of births per woman was 2.5 in 1970, which decreased
slightly in 1992, at 2. On the other hand, the figure of that in low income
economies decreased rapidly from 6 to 3.5 during the period. The gap of the
number of total fertility between high income and low income economies was about
3.5 in 1970, while that figure decreased continuously and reached 1.5 in 1992.
Turning to the
second graph, the number of deaths per 1,000 live births in low income
economies was about 110 in 1970, which decreased by 90 to 60 in 1992. In high-income
economies, the gap of that figure between 1970 and 1992 was just more or less 10.
The number of that figure in high-income economies was a seventh as little as low-income
economies.
To sum up, wealthy
countries have smaller figures in fertility and infant mortality than low
income countries. This gap, however, dropped steadily between 1970 and 1992.
