I don't beleive the stats are true but does Bobert?

Fact is when you look at the bottom of the chart it says each country figures their poverty level different. So how can you compare one country to another?

Same way with death rate and infant mortality.

If a country has less roads and autos, they have less auto fatalities. In the US about 40,000 people die from auto accidents each year. How about auto accidents in the other contries?

In switzerland a baby is not considered born unless they are not 30 CM long at birth. If they are 29.9 CM ;ong and die, it is not part of the infant wortality stat.
