figure 7 to figure 2
Figure 7 shows that 68% of employees in Mali work in agriculture, this links to Figure 2 that shows the Birth Rate of Mali is 40 per 1000. The reason for this is that large families are often seen as economic assets and therefore many people may have more children as a source of labour to work in agriculture to be able to provide food to families.
figure 3 to figure 11 to figure 10
Figure 3 compares the literacy rates between Germany and Mali. In Mali, the literacy rate is 35.5%, this links to figure 11 which shows that the average years at school in Mali is 2 years, this could suggest that Mali lacks a strong education system, or that school is difficult to access for som people. In the long term, this can be the cause of the low numbers shown in figure 10. Figure 10 shows that the number of doctors per 1000 in Mali is 0.13, this could be due to the possible lack of a decent education system, much of the working population could lack the basic education that is required to enter higher education and go on to study advanced subjects like medicine. This contrasts to Germany, in Germany the literacy rate is 100%, this high literacy rates lead to a better educated workforce and more trained professionals, including doctors.

Figure 9 shows the comparison of infant mortality rates between germany and mali. Figure 9 shows us that Mali’s infant mortality rate is 57 deaths per 1000, one reason the infant mortality rate is so high could be figure 1. figure 1 shows the % of both populations access to clean drinking water. Although in mali, 80% of the population has access to clean drinking water, the other 20% are still at risk of waterborne diseases such as. Another factor involved in the cause of high infant mortality rate could be because of the lack of hospital beds per 1000. Figure 12 shows us that in mali they have 0.1 hospital beds per 1000, this suggests that the healthcare system in Mali struggles to provide adequate care for babies or pregnant women which therefore leads to a higher infant mortality rate. This contrasts to in Germany, where according to figure 12, the number of hospital beds per 1000 is 4.4, which allows the healthcare system to better help prevent or treat complications during childbirth.

Figure 5 shows the difference in GDP per capita between Germany and Mali, with Germany’s GDP being over $61,000. This means Germany has the money to import materials and technology needed to make products, which they can then export to earn more money. This allows Germany to grow their economy further and then means the government can use this money to improve important services like schools and healthcare and also make infrastructure and the environment better. Whereas Mali’s GDP per capita is $2,500, this means it has much less money to invest in things like services and infrastructure. With limited funds, Mali would find it harder to provide good schools and healthcare, this can be seen through Figure 4 that shows the contrast between the life expectancy in Mali and Germany, in Mali the life expectancy is 63 years old, whereas Germanys is 82 years old. Figure 5 links to figure 8 which shows the % of population with access to electricity. It shows that in Germany, 100% of the population have access to electricity, this can allow businesses to operate efficiently and can help with the economic growth of Germany.

Figure 6 shows a comparison between the HDI of Germany and Mali. The figure shows that Germany has an HDI level of 0.942 out of 1, this shows that Germany has with strong healthcare, education, and income levels, which then leads to a high quality of life. Whereas Mali’s has a HDI level of 0.428 out of 1 which shows that Mali faces challenges in areas like healthcare, education, and income, which then means Mali has lower living standards compared to Germany. The large difference between Germany and Mali’s HDI highlights the different levels of development between the two countries
