> Granted death rate of younger people isn't absolute zero, but in India, it's happening way too often. Could it be because of lack of hospital care
Lower standard of living, if not poverty, seems like the simplest explanation. You're comparing the richest countries with an emerging market country that has an astronomical number of poor people. They'll have worse health outcomes in general. Also, polution in India is terrible drom what I understand.
Is the quality of life and are the health outcomes the same as those of the countries they're being compared to for thier middle class? Is it not a relative term?
"According to The Economist, 78 million of India's population are considered middle class as of 2017, if defined using the cutoff of those making more than $10 per day, a standard used by the India's National Council of Applied Economic Research"
So, apparently no probably not to my first question and yes to the second.
