1. Overview

#india #portugal

Almost five centuries as a Portuguese colony came to a close with independence in 1975. Large-scale emigration, economic dependence on South Africa, a severe drought, and a prolonged civil war hindered the country's development until the mid 1990s. The ruling Front for the Liberation of Mozambique (Frelimo) party formally abandoned Marxism in 1989, and a new constitution the following year provided for multiparty elections and a free market economy. A UN-negotiated peace agreement between Frelimo and rebel Mozambique National Resistance (Renamo) forces ended the fighting in 1992. In December 2004, Mozambique underwent a delicate transition as Joaquim CHISSANO stepped down after 18 years in office. His elected successor, Armando Emilio GUEBUZA, promised to continue the sound economic policies that have encouraged foreign investment. President GUEBUZA was reelected to a second term in October 2009. However, the elections were flawed by voter fraud, questionable disqualification of candidates, and Frelimo use of government resources during the campaign. As a result, Freedom House removed Mozambique from its list of electoral democracies.

CIA's The World Factbook (2013)9

Book CoverA mix of Swahili, Indian, Portuguese and African influences, overlooked Mozambique is diverse in its cultural palette and natural attractions. Mozambique´s star is on the rise. After two decades of peace, the economy is growing. Glitzy high-rises and lively street cafes compete for attention with remote island archipelagos and a steadily increasing population of wild animals. A new bridge over the Zambezi River links north and south for the first time. Yet, despite the development, centuries-old rhythms still dominate and the country moves to its own beat.Yet this enigmatic southeast African country embraced by the Indian Ocean is well off most travellers´ maps. Still, it has much to offer those who venture here. Canny travellers are venturing in to discover long, dune-fringed beaches, turquoise waters glittering with shoals of colourful fish, well-preserved corals, remote archipelagos in the north, pounding surf in the south.

Discovering these attractions is not always easy, but it is unfailingly rewarding. Bring along some patience, some endurance for long bus rides, a sense of adventure, and jump in for the journey of a lifetime.

The United Nations produces an annual Human Development Report which includes the Human Development Index. The factors taken into account include life expectancy, education and schooling and Gross National Income (GNI) amongst many others..

The Social and Moral Development Index concentrates on moral issues and human rights, violence, public health, equality, tolerance, freedom and effectiveness in climate change mitigation and environmentalism, and on some technological issues. A country scores higher for achieving well in those areas, and for sustaining that achievement in the long term. Those countries towards the top of this index can truly said to be setting good examples and leading humankind onwards into a bright, humane, and free future. See: Which are the Best Countries in the World? The Social and Moral Development Index.

3. Mozambique's Demographics and Migration

#birth_control #demographics #health #immigration #life_expectancy #longevity #migration #overpopulation #population

Population:

Mozambique's population is predicted to rise to 35.91 million by 2030. These millions of extra people will all need space to live, food to eat, energy to consume, and will increase the burden on the planet's resources. This country has a fertility rate of 4.75. The fertility rate is, in simple terms, the average amount of children that each woman has. The higher the figure, the quicker the population is growing, although, to calculate the rate you also need to take into account morbidity, i.e., the rate at which people die. If people live healthy and long lives and morbidity is low, then, 2.0 approximates to the replacement rate, which would keep the population stable. If all countries had such a fertility rate, population growth would end. The actual replacement rate in most developed countries is around 2.1.

Mozambique does relatively well in ensuring human rights and freedom, compared to many other countries. Mozambique comes in the best 20 in freethought18. It does better than average in terms of commentary in Human Rights Watch reports19, supporting press freedom20 and in LGBT equality21. But, things still need to improve in Mozambique. Mozambique does worse than average for its nominal commitment to Human Rights22, supporting personal, civil & economic freedoms23 (still low for Africa), speed of uptake of HR treaties24 and in opposing gender inequality25. Government and rebel (now reformed into a political party, RENAMO) both continued to commit violent abuses with impunity and major crimes and murders are often not investigated at all26. Progress is always going to be difficult in a country where the richest 10% hold 46% of the country's entire income27.

The countries with the best overall approach to public health, in terms of both public policy and individual lifestyle choices, are Monaco, Hong Kong and The Maldives29. These countries are worth emulating. And, although often through no fault of the average citizen, the worst countries are The Marshall Islands, S. Sudan and Palau29.

The data sets used to calculate points for each country are its average life expectancy, its alcohol consumption rate, its fertility rate, its smoking rate, its suicide rate, its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance, the prevalence of overweight adults, its adolescent birth rate and its immunizations take-up. The regions with the best average results per country are Scandinavia, Asia and The Mediterranean29, whereas the worst are Micronesia, Australasia and Africa29.

For more, see:

Health:

Mozambique is a pretty unhealthy country. Mozambique comes in the best 20 for its smoking rate30. It does better than average in its alcohol consumption rate31. But that's it. Mozambique has problems. It does worse than average when it comes to its immunizations take-up32 and in its fertility rate13. And finally, it falls into the worst-performing 20 in its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance33, its average life expectancy11 and in its adolescent birth rate25. The prevalence of overweight adults has increased by 14% during the past 40 years. Life expectancy in Mozambique in 1990 was the seventh lowest in the world, at 44.5yrs. But it improved by +16.7yrs in the 30 years from then, over double the global average improvement of +7.9yrs.

Mozambique comes in the best 20 in annual meat consumption per person36. It does better than average in the rate of rational beliefs on the environment in the population37. But that's it. Mozambique has problems. It does worse than average for how quickly it ratified the 1993 Convention on Biological Diversity, its environmental performance38 and in its forested percent change 1990-201539. And finally, it sits amongst the bottom 20 in energy to GDP efficiency40 (one of the lowest in Africa).
