NAME: Televisions, Physicians, and Life Expectancy TYPE: Sample SIZE: 40 observations, 6 variables DESCRIPTIVE ABSTRACT: For each of the forty largest countries in the world (according to 1990 population figures), data are given for the country's life expectancy at birth, number of people per television set, and number of people per physician. SOURCE: _The World Almanac and Book of Facts 1993_ (1993), New York: Pharos Books. VARIABLE DESCRIPTIONS: Columns 1 - 15 Country 23 - 26 Life expectancy (LE) 29 - 33 People per television (PPT) 36 - 40 People per physician (PPP) 43 - 44 Female life expectancy (FLE) 47 - 48 Male life expectancy (MLE) Values are aligned and delimited by blanks. Missing values are denoted with *. SPECIAL NOTES: A country's life expectancy was calculated by averaging the life expectancies for females and males. In most cases the almanac listed the ratios of people per television and people per physician directly. In the few cases for which the almanac listed the raw numbers, the ratios were calculated from the population information. The only missing values are people per television in Tanzania and Zaire.
