Past few days, we have been adding thematic maps on Africa. It has been an interesting journey in understanding the different factors which allow for the quality of life. From HDI (Human Development Index) to life expectancy. Today, we’re adding two more theme based maps, first on life expectancy at birth among African countries and second on African countries with lowest life expectancy( at birth). These are alarming figures not just for Africa but for the world we live in. Life is Short, literally, in Africa. Thematic maps updated: What do you think? What are your thoughts on the challenge of a lower life expectancy? What do you think is its root cause? What in your opinion can bring about a change so each human being can live a longer, healthier life?
