ABOUT THIS SLIDESHOW
This presentation shows that people live longer in countries with a high GDP per capita. No high income countries have short life expectancy, and no low income countries have long life expectancy.
There is a huge difference in life expectancy between countries on the same income level, depending on how the money is distributed and how it is used.
