Describe the standard of living in North Africa. Be sure to discuss factors such as live expectancy, literacy, and population growth.

The standard of living in North Africa is relatively poor, with life expectancy being below the ones of the developed countries, literacy rates being low, and high population growth.

Explanation:

North Africa, as the name suggests, is a region located in the northern part of the African continent. It is a region dominated by desert landscape, lack of freshwater reserves, and lack of arable land. The population is highly on very small areas, while most of the territory lacks human presence. This region had and still has a lot of problems.

Because of the living conditions being generally below par, the life expectancy is not high, close to the global average, but way below the average of the developed countries. The region is dominated by Islam, and as in many Muslim countries, the literacy rates are low because of the limitation of education opportunities for women. The population growth is fast, and with the economies being in bad conditions, it just adds further problems.
