The Condition Of Iraq s Demographic State Is Not Good

Domenic Bettinelli Human Geo Scanlan 11/20/15 Dear Mr. President of Iraq Fuad Masum, The condition of Iraq’s demographic state is not good. The literacy rate, especially for women is very low and could be improved upon. The population growth shows the characteristics of a poor country because of the low amount of elderly and the low median age. There are also problems like the low life expectancy. Compared to the United States Iraq’s life expectancy is low. These problems can be fixed to improve your country s status and raise the standard of living and earn respect from other countries that have listened to my advice.

If the natural increase rate rises the population doubling time will become a longer tim e, therefore the population will eventually get smaller. Another important aspect of keeping your citizens alive longer is sanitation. The sanitation of your people is not good compared to the level of the United States. The percentage of people in the country of Iraq that does not have access to clean water is 14.6%(CIA) of the entire population. The percentage that do not have the proper sanitation in Iraq is 14.4%(CIA) which is very high. The United States people according to the CIA have 100% of their people that can access proper sanitation and 98.2%(CIA) that can access clean fresh water. This means that almost â…™ of the population does not have access to water or sanitation and this is not good. One way to fix this is to set up places that give out clean water in places that clean water is not common. A series of hospitals could also be set up to give people access to being examined for health issues especially in areas that need it most. Education is very important for the future of a country because the children will be in charge of the country some day and their choices are based off what they were taught in school. The definition of literacy is the ability to read and write. Iraq has a low literacy rate compared to the rest
