Topic 7.3
What's a key flaw when using life expectancy as an indicator for comparing levels of development among countries?
Life expectancy inaccurately measures length of lives without taking into account the population density of a country.
Life expectancy fails to consider cultural values and societal norms affecting individual health behaviors and choices within countries.
Life expectancy can be manipulated by government policies, hence providing an inaccurate representation of development status in some countries.
Life expectancy does not account for quality of life, including physical health conditions and disabilities experienced during those years lived.
