SOCI 215V Regional work on Life Expectancy For this week’s regional group assignment we will examine differences in life expectancy in difference regions and explain why these differences exist, citing reliable sources. Please be prepared to hand in one copy of this assignment per group by the Sunday following our class meeting. 1. Use the PRB datasheet to figure out the range for life expectancy within your region. Please note it below and calculate the average life expectancy for your region? (If you have more than one region, please find the range and average for both regions.) 2. According to the PRB datasheet, what are the top three and bottom three countries in your region in terms of life expectancy? 3. Find two of the leading causes of death in one of the countries with the highest life expectancy and two of the leading causes of death among those with the lowest life expectancy in your region. Where did you find this information? Good sources to use might include World Bank, World Health Organization (WHO), and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) data. Cite your source using American Sociological Association conventions.
4. According to the PBR datasheet, which three countries have the largest discrepancy between life expectancy for males and females? By how many years does life expectancy differ between males and females? 5. Find two reasons that life expectancy varies so considerably between males and females in one of these countries. Please note the source of your information. Cite your source using American Sociological Association conventions.
