I would now like to compare the three countries, Nepal, Thailand and Japan, fir
st in terms of the live birth rate (see Table 1). It is 42, 21 , and 10, in tha
t order. The crude death rate is 13.3 in Nepal, 6 in Thailand, and 7 in Japan.
So for Thailand the death rate is even lower than Japan, and this has to do wit
h the population structure. The infant mortality rate is 100 in Nepal, 8 in Tha
iland, and 4 in Japan.
