ROAD DEATHS: In 2001 there were 984 thousand deaths caused by road traffic accidents worldwide. Half of these deaths occured in the regions of Eastern and Southern Asia. I chose this map because everybody drives a car of some type and just was interesting to see how many deaths were cuased by vehicle accidents. The highest road deaths per person were in South America. The lowest rates of road deaths were in Northern Afica and Japan.
TEENAGE MOTHERS: A teenage mother,is a girl/woman aged between 15 and 19. A third of all the teenage mothers in the world live in India. There are three times more teenage mothers living in Southern Asia than live in any other region. The fewest recorded live in Japan. I chose this map because my sister is 19 or 20 years old and she has a six month old boy and I was just interested in seeing how many out there are teenage mothers.
