The mean life expectancy in the year 2010 is 71.54 and in the year 2020 it is 73.63, on an average the life expectancy of the nations has increased over the ten year period. The standard deviation of life expectancy decreased in the ten year duration, there is less variability in 2020 as compared to year 2010. The mean infant mortality rate of year 2010 is more than the year 2020, the number of infant deaths has decreased during the time period. The mean fertility rate of year 2010 is 2.65 and in year 2020 it is 2.45, the number of children born has decreased between the years. The nations are becoming more diverse.
