The similarities and differences of Bolivia and Chile

Both Bolivia and Chile have a higher female life expectancy than males in their countries, as well as both countries having a higher birth rate than death rate. The difference between the birth and death rates though is that Chile, being the more developed country, has a closer birth/death rate balancing one another out, which allows the country to stabilize the growth of its population so as to not max out its carrying capacity for whatever limited resources they have. Whereas Bolivia has an unbalanced birth/death rate, making it easier to exceed the environments carrying capacity and use up the limited resources, causing the country to go into a health decline. Another difference between Bolivia and Chile is that in Chile, females have a drastic increase in their life expectancy, which I would assume would be because of the change in health care for women.

The Comparison of Bolivia and Chile to the World

 What the world's less developed countries and Bolivia have in common is the birth rate exceeding the death rate, causing the overpopulation in less developed countries. Along with the low life expectancy rate for both genders. What the world and Chile have in common is the same birth rate and similar life expectancies for both genders, but that could be said for Bolivia and the world's less developed countries. It is safe to say that both countries reflect their respective categories.
