• Untied States - 4 July 1776 (from Great Britain)


Would you consider each of these nations a developed country or a developing country? Why?
I would consider all but United States a developing country. Although all are developing because Ethiopia is the oldest independent country in Africa and one of the oldest in the world by about 2,000 years you would think they would be in the higher phase of demographic transition. Instead they still have 85,237,338 and the countries life expectancy is very low telling me their health care probably is not as good as the United States. The United States Surpasses all the other countries population combined at 307,212,123. The United States life expectancy is at 78 years old and the birth rate and death rate are close making the population stay even but, slowly growing enough to keep the country growing. Another way I can tell the sub-Saharan countries population pyramid is like a perfect pyramid telling me that they are growing, health care is low and is developing. When United States’ Population Pyramid looks like a “bottle” shape where it stays constant then lessons at the top telling me this cou ntry has good health care and is developed.
