You are going to collect data from the USA and TWO different countries (one country must be developing). for 1) life expectancy and 2) the relative percentage of young, working age and elderly members of the country. You are also going to create graphs of the data you obtain for the USA and TWO different countries (one country must be developing). The website will do this for you, if you click on the names of the three countries to select them. You will attach or include the graphs for 1) life expectancy and 2) the relative percentage of young, working age and elderly members of the country. to your paper. The graphs do not count towards the two-page length. We want you to pick at least one developing country to compare.
