Congo

The Republic of the Congo ranks 142nd out of 186 countries on the United Nations Human Development Index (HDI), a prosperity indicator for countries worldwide.

Life expectancy in the Congo is only 58 years. At the same time, the mortality rate for children under five years old is 99 per 1,000 live births, which is significantly higher than the UN’s Millennium Development Goals target mortality rate of 60 per 1,000 live births.

In contrast, life expectancy in developed countries can reach up to 83.4 years. The mortality rate for children under five years is an average of 6.2.

In 1960, the former French colony gained its independence. This was followed by years of political experimentation with Marxism until a democratically elected government came to power in 1992. A civil war shook the country in 1997, causing political and ethnic unrest, the effects of which are still partially felt today.
