Stage 3Haiti is at the beginning of the third stage. The population grew a lot after 1900, but the life expectancy is very low. The death rate and birth rates are higher than the regional average. Haiti has a young age structure since about two-fifths of the population is younger than 15 years. It also has widespread poverty, low educational attainment and low urbanization, all of these factors have delayed the economic growth.

The two topics I chose for my gapminder active chart for Haiti are, Life Expectancy and Child Mortality rate. Life expectancy is on the y-axis, and I chose this topic because Haiti has a low expectancy rate due to disease, and many other problems. I thought It would be interesting to see this country compared to other undeveloped and developed countries. Child Mortality rate is on the x-axis, and I chose this topic because since the the life expectancy was so low I wanted to see how the child mortality rate would compare.
