The title of the article I found is : Brazil’s Jobless Rate Jumps the Most in Seven Years
This article explains how unemployment rate in Brazil jumped the most in seven years. In January unemployment was 8.2 percent and December it was 6.8 percent. I thought this article was interesting because not only is unemployment just affecting Latin America, it is also affecting the Unites States. I would be interested to see the perfect of unemployment of the U.S., compared to Latin America. Also, maybe just compared several states to Brazil.
The article says that it will be getting worse though. Also, the article said that the government is providing money to build homes so that construction workers can work.

TOTAL CHILDREN



I picked total children because I like kids. They are so many children in different places that I didn't know.

Children make up a third of the population. Africa has the highest percentage of children.

Central Africa is the most of the children population under 15 years of age.
North America is the 3rd lowest population of children.

I picked Afghanistan and New Zealand because they have several differences in their population.
New Zealand has a variety of people and cultures living there. As for Afghanistan, their people and culture consists of very few. Afghanistan is LDC because it is one of the most poorest countries in the world. Also, because of years of neglect and conflict, that has impacted its development as a country and its people. Life expectany is around 46-50.

New Zealand is MDC because it is a well developed country and just look at the population! There is about 50 thousands 0 years of age to 80. Looking at Afghanistan the populatoin doesn't increase, it just decreases.
If you look at New Zealand's population at 45-50 it is about 140 thousand! New Zealands population increases because of its good environment and culture.
