Statistics  Population: 313,858,000  Fertility: 1.9  Birth Rate: 13.7/1,000  Death Rate: 7.9/1,000  Education: 99% literacy, 96.2% Primary completion.  Gender Equality: Women are a higher percentage of US college graduates, making up around 58%. They also have higher rates of high-school completion and lower rates of youth unemployment. Women make up only 3% of high-level CEOs and less than 8% of workplace deaths. The median income for women is $8,000 lower than for men before adjusting for hours worked and job type.  Challenges for Government: Aging population, high education and healthcare costs, political opposition to implementing publically- funded programs,

United States Summary  The US has a population of 313,858,000, making it the 3 rd largest country by population. The birth rate is 13.7/1,000 and the death rate is 7.9/1,000. The fertility rate is 1.9 The United States is a Stage 4 country, and it’s aging population is likely to place massive amounts of pressure on the public health system as will lead to a need to treat chronic illnesses more often and acute illnesses less. The US has an infant mortality rate of 6.8, which is unusually high for such a developed country and has led to action being taken within the health care system.  The life expectancy at birth is currently 78, and this will lead to a higher amount of pressure on the public welfare system in cases where proper retirement planning has not been undertaken. This will be exacerbated by the 15.1% of the US population who currently live below the poverty line, and this number is not expected to fall quickly.  The US has a literacy rate of 99%, and though primary and secondary education is readily available, colleges usually have high fees and often lead to high levels of debt for graduates. Females make up almost 60% of university graduates.  Gender equality is much greater in the US than in most countries in the world. While women only make up 3% of CEOs in Forbes 500 countries, they also only make up 8% of workplace fatalities and have lower rates of unemployment than men. The female median wage is $8,000 lower than for men before adjusting for hours worked and employment type.
