Standard of Living, Quality of Life

How are we doing?  Are we living the good life?  Here are some quantitative measures to determine how good we have it.
  • urbanization
  • level of economic activity (primary, secondary, tertiary)
  • Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita (PPP)
  • school life expectancy
  • literacy rate
  • life expectancy
  • infant mortality
  • population % below the poverty line

And here are some countries we will be researching:
  • USA
  • Brazil
  • Germany
  • India
  • Saudi Arabia
  • Canada
  • Colombia
  • Greece
  • China
  • Mexico
  • Liechtenstein
  • Afghanistan
  • Kenya
  • Japan
  • United Kingdom
  • Angola
  • Egypt
  • South Korea
Here is one way to do this assignment.





After completing your research, each group should collaborate on a paragraph that summarizes the quality of life for each country.  Describe what was revealed about each country through your research.
