Some Notable Comparisons
Then and Now:
1. Mortality Rate
• Due to technology, lesser women and children die
during birth, assuring robust population and strong
workforce
✓ medical care for premature infants allows them to
survive and develop normally
✓ proper maternal care ensures that mothers can fully
recover and remain empowered
2. Average Lifespan
• science prolong lives by enhancing living status
and discovering different remedies to most
diseases
• distribution of medicines is also made easier and
faster
3. Literacy rate
• access to education provided to more
individuals generally creates a more informed
public that could determine a more just society
4. Gross Domestic Product
(GDP)
• is used to determine the value of the country’s
goods and services produced
• Higher country income is brought upon by high
productivity, often an indicator of presence of
technology
