Annual Population

The study aimed to detect the expectations of life expectancy of women since birth according to the diversity of the communities and to examine the most important social, cultural, economic, and demographic determinants. These have been identified as: the proportion of annual population increase, rates of infant mortality, the rate of the crude death, the rate of population density per cubic meter, the population of the state, the period during which the population doubles, the total fertility rate, the rate of birth control use, the level of individual income, the proportion of youth in the community (population less than 15 years), and the rate of urbanization. The study relied on the annual global data for 242 countries provided by the United Nations for all countries in the world which is known as the World Population Data Sheet. The study found that females live longer than males, and variables such as infant mortality, the proportion of youth in a community, the rate of crude mortality, total fertility of women and rate, and the relative use of birth control methods in the community, all play an influential role in determining the levels of the woman’s life expectancy.

Annual Population

Whereas throughout most of the world the results of the 1953 censusregistration of Communist China, reporting a population of 582·6 million, evoked anxiety and even alarm, the Communists expressed only pride and overwhelming confidence. As a people “liberated from the oppressive chains of capitalism,” Communist leaders felt that their horizons were unlimited and that feeding and caring for a population of this size presented no problems under a system in which people are “the most precious of all categories of capital.” The simultaneous release of vital rates which indicated a birth rate of 37 per thousand population and a death rate of 17 per thousand, further stressed the “great vitality of the people of new China.” The 2 per cent, natural increase (excess of births over deaths), resulting in an annual population growth of some 12 million, was declared, in line with Marxist doctrine, to be an asset in a country with vast new lands and unexploited natural resources, where additional people create additional wealth.

The paper analyzes the socio-economic and demographic indicators of life expectancy in the countries of the world. Methods of regression analysis and machine learning are used. Statistically significant indicators that affect life expectancy around the world have been identified. When analyzing the data using machine learning methods, 13 of the 14 analyzed indicators were statistically significant. Significant indicators, in addition to those selected in the regression analysis, were 3: the under-five infant mortality rate (per 1,000 live births), the Net Barter Terms of Trade Index (2000 = 100), and Imports of goods and services (in % of GDP) (in the regression analysis, only the infant death rate was significant). In addition, it should be noted that there is a significant decrease in the under-five infant mortality rate (per 1,000 live births) for the EU, CIS and South-East Asian countries compared to the border set in the study for all countries: 4.65 vs. 34.9, a decrease in the birth rate from 2.785 to 1.85, a sharp increase in exports of goods and services: from 23.17 to 80.59, a halving in imports of goods and services, a drop in population growth from 2.105 to 0.85. The performed statistical analysis strongly supports the use of machine learning methods in identifying statistically significant relationships between various indicators that characterize the development of countries, if there are gaps in the data.

The incidence of epilepsy has bimodal distribution peaking at the extremes of life. Incidence is greater in younger and older age groups (Hauser et al., 1993, Sidenvall et al., 1993, Forsgren et al., 1996, and Olafsson et al., 2005). As the world population ages more elders with epilepsy will be identified. In the high-income countries with longer life expectancy, the number of elders with epilepsy will be even higher. CPSs account for 40% of all seizure types in the elderly (Hauser et al., 1992); however, the proportion with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) is uncertain.

The present attempt fulfills the urgent need of researchers in the valuable field of sociology, economics and statistics. The author has gathered the material from various sources of population data. As data on fertility, mortality and migration are ever changing, sociologists and demographers need to compare and analyze population change and structure every now and then, to introduce and build up new strategies leading to favorable population status. In this way, remedies and reforms could be reached wherever possible. In order to enable the readers to have a comparative image of growth of population in Asia, an abridged table has been provided. Such a comparative study is necessary to understand population problems in Asia with about 60% of world population. Factors affecting population distribution are know as geographic, social, economic and demographic. One of the most important aspects of population study in modern time is the tempo of urbanization which is the result of population growth.

Mankind is faced with three interconnected problems, those of rising population, the provision of adequate food and the increasing level of waste carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The ocean plays an important role at present by annually providing c. 90 Mt of high protein food and absorbing about 1000 Mt of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere. By the year 2100 it is predicted by the United Nations (1992) that the world population will have more than doubled its 1990 level of 5.2 thousand million people and will approach 11.5 thousand million. Most of this population increase will occur in the developing countries.

The world population is ageing at an accelerated pace. It is estimated there are 900 million people aged 60 years or above worldwide, and with the rise in life expectancy comes an increased prevalence of chronic diseases such as dementia. In September 2015, Alzheimer’s Disease International reported a total of 46.8 million people with dementia worldwide, which is expected to increase to 74.7 million and 135.1 million by 2030 and 2050, respectively. Dementia also has a tremendous worldwide economic impact on health systems. In 2015, the total cost of dementia care was 818 billion dollars, representing an increase of 35.4% from 2010.

The U.S

Life-expectancy data are essential to many fields, notably demography, health care, insurance, military recruiting, and forensic economics. Professionals using global rankings find life expectancy data misleading. Policymakers need a standard protocol to measure and track life expectancies. A case study comparing four countries’ life-expectancy data against the U.S. found skewed population data caused by different definitions and different formulas across different countries. Only the U.S. Life-Expectancy Tables made adjustments for both infant mortality and fertility rates. Absent a standard protocol to measure and track life expectancies, policymakers will continue to reach wrong conclusions. A worldwide standard protocol would require all counties to define life-expectancy data in the same way, calculate life expectancy values in the same way, and uniformly adjust for rates of both infant mortality and fertility. The significant changes called for will not come quickly, but we surely can suggest a starting basis.

Scientists have written numerous papers studying different aspects of health systems in the world. Comparing health systems in the world is essential for policymakers to learn from each other to make healthcare services effective with better outcomes and decrease the cost of healthcare services. In the world, countries have different health systems. The difference in the health systems is a combination of components that are specific to each country based on the financial status of healthcare, workforce, and infrastructures. This paper will evaluate the contrast of Canadian and American health systems payment systems, timely access, and healthcare quality outcomes. Both countries are well-developed countries that have a health system with excellent infrastructure and effective healthcare services. However, the system operates differently in both countries. America does not have a universal healthcare plan and spends more money per capita compared to Canada. The United States has a lower rank than its peer, underperforms in maternal mortality, infant mortality, preventable deaths, and life expectancy. On the other hand, Canada has a universal healthcare plan for all Canadian residents and performs better in life expectancy, infant mortality, and maternal mortality. However, waiting for specialized care is longer than in the United States.
