[EQ] World Health Statistics 2008

[Chris Leonard]

> This is from another list I watch.  If you are data-driven in your thinking
> (and I hope you are), there is an embarrassment of riches here (of data
> about the embarrassment of world poverty to those of us in wealthier
> nations).  Good news on some fronts (lower HIV estimates), long road ahead
> in many areas.
>
> Contains a number data fields specifically on educational status (aqll
> broken down by country):
> Net primary school enrollment ratio (%, by male/female)
> Adult literacy rate (%)
> Numerous other statistics related to economic status, healthcare access,
> morbidity/mortality, etc.  Extensively referenced and hotlinked to original
> sources (UNESCO, et al.).  It doesn't make for light reading, but it's
> probably as current, accurate and comprehensive a treatment of the
> statistics of the situation as you're likely to find.  A grim primer on the
> current worldwide health situation.
