Lets Compare Japan to U.S.A. and Mexico

To get a better idea of where Japan stands
compared to other countries in the word, lets
compare some facts about Japan to those of U.S.A.
and Mexico.
All of the information is very current, from the
summer of 2008, taken from www.cia.gov.

6
How Big are the countries?

Japan has a total land and water area of 377,835
square kilometers.
Japan is the smallest of the three countries. It
is slightly smaller than California.

7
How many people live there?

The U.S.A. population is 303,824,646 people. The
average age is 36.7 years.
The birth rate is 14.18/1000 people.
The death rate is 8.27/1000 (this means that in a
group of 1000 people, 8.27 of them will die in a
given year.

Japans population is 127, 288, 419 people. The
average age is 43.8
The birth rate is 7.87/1000
The death rate is 9.26/1000
This is fascinating!! Japan has more people than
Mexico even though Mexico is 5 times bigger!
Japans population is aging, which may account
for its death rate being higher than the other
countries.
Mexicos average age is only 26. This will
account for the lowest death rate of the 3
countries.

Mexicos population is 109,955,400. The average
age is 26 years. The birth rate is 20.04/1000.
The death rate is 4.78/1000.

8
More about birth and death

In Japan, the average woman bears 1.22 children.
Out of 1000 babies born, 2.8 will die as infants.
Japans population growth is negative - 0.139
Recall that the death rate (elderly population)
exceeds the birth rate. Japanese women may be
choosing careers over families. The life
expectancy is 82.07 78.73 years for men and
85.59 years for women. This is one of the highest
life expectancies in the world.
Mexicos higher infant mortality rate is
disturbing and may require further research as to
the causes.

In Mexico, the average woman bears 2.37 children.
Out of 1000 babies born, 19.01 will die as
infants. Mexican population is growing at a rate
of 1.142 The life expectancy of Mexican males is
75.84 years, for women it is 78.78 years.

More People Facts

In Japan, citizens may vote at the age of 20.
99 of the population is literate.
There are no statistics available about the
poverty level.
I find the literacy rate in all 3 countries
impressive.
The poverty level in Mexico is very troubling and
may help account for the high rate of Mexican
immigrants coming to the United States.

Government

Japan is a constitutional monarchy w/ a
parliamentary government.
The chief of state is Emperor Akihito.
The head of government is Prime Minister Yasuo
Fukuda.
The external debt is 1.492 trillion.
The unemployment rate is 3.9.
It appears that more Mexicans have jobs than
people from the other 2 countries! The problem is
that they are not getting enough hours and high
enough wages to support their families.

Mexico is a federal republic.
The president is Felipe de Jesus Calderon
Hinojosa. He is called Presidente Calderon.
The external debt is 179.7 billion.
The unemployment rate is 3.7, but it is
estimated at 25 of the population is
underemployed.

11
Money

The monetary unit of the United States is called
the U.S. Dollar.
The value of the U.S. dollar has been decreasing
in recent years when held up against currencies
in other countries, such as the euro.
U.S.A.s per capita G.D.P. is 45,800.

Japans money is called the Japan Yen.
You can buy 117.99 yen for every U.S. dollar. In
2006, you could only get 116.18 yen, so this has
improved slightly in favor of the dollar.
Japans per capita G.D.P. is 33,600.
