Social Welfare - The best of 122 countries (Hardcover)

Nine out of ten infant deaths occur unnecessarily. India has a rate of imprisonment of only one twentieth of the USA. Nevertheless it manages to have a lower homicide rate. In 2010 Honduras had proprtionately one thousand five hundred times as many deaths from firearms compared to the UK and Norway. If men had the same incarceration rate as women then over nine out of ten prisons could close. In 2010 Chad had a maternal mortality rate, which has over a hundred times that of France and Australia. Worldwide two in five adults are overweight and yet 13% are undernourished. Due to pollution more than five million pieces of plastic, collectively weighing nearly 269,000 tonnes are floating in the world's oceans damaging the food chain. About 12 billion bullets are produced every year, which is almost enough to kill every person on the planet twice. Worldwide two thirds of illiterate adults are women. Unsafe abortion led to 47,000 deaths in 2008. These were nearly all in the poor countries.
