area: Afghanistan, Sierra Leone, Bangladesh, Jamaica, China,
El Salvador.
Next, drawing from this information as well as two additional

external site.
, answer the following questions. Be sure to indicate the dates

up-to-date statistics.
What disparities did you note when first looking at the charts?
