AFRICAN VIEWS

Life expectancy improving every where except sub-Saharan Africa !! From 2005 Human Development Report. chapter 1, page 19
The Human Development Index produced by the UN is a measure of quality of life. It includes life expectancy, education, literacy, and financial resources of the average individual in that country. The closer to the number 1 the better the quality of life. For sub-Saharan Africa the index has not improved since 1985 while in virtually the rest of the world it is going up at great speed. The health care and education in Africa is tantamount to a crime against humanity. This graph was taken from the Human Development Report of the UN 2006. page 265
