These two charts illustrate how the mortality rate in Africa had changed based on two criteria (age and gender) at three points (1950, 1980, and 2010). First, in accordance with age, the lowest generation is the second group (21~30). Its tendency has maintained continuously. In contrast, the fifth group (61 and above) recorded the highest generation, reaching approximately 83%, 75%, and 70%, respectively. In addition, in terms of age, there is no ranking fluctuation from 1950 to 2010, showing the general decrease as time goes on. Second, the male group’s mortality rate has steadily surpassed the female’s one, but there is a steady but significant decline at the same time. For example, in 1950, the rate of two groups was about 37.5% and 28.5%, respectively. However, in 2010, these figures dropped to around 23% simultaneously. To sum up, there is no change when it comes to rank both age and gender, Africa’s mortality rate has decreased consistently. |
