Demographics of Four Nations

The table provides key information about the population, gross domestic product per person and life expectancy in four different countries. Overall, there are two very noticeable features. First, China has by far the highest number of citizens, but they have the lowest economic output per person out of the four powers. Secondly, the United States has the highest earnings, but the lowest life expectancy. China has the highest number of people with around 1. 3 billion citizens, however, the average person only produces $6, 807 and the Chinese average age upon death is 75. 2 years. This is in contrast with the USA where people earn, on average, nearly 10 times more than a normal man or woman from China. Despite this, Americans live significantly shorter lives at just 69. 2 years. The United Kingdom has the lowest population of the four countries with just under 65 million, but notably has the second highest GDP and the highest life expectancy with $41, 787 and 81. 5 years respectively. Russia has a population of nearly 144 million and a relatively low GDP per capita of nearly $15, 000.
