- ZeroGravitas 2y agoWorld in Data's stats from before this 2003 statistical change happened: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-maternal-deaths?tab=chart&time=earliest..2002&country=AUS~USA~CAN~GBR~NOR~SWE~ESP https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-maternal-deaths...
- AnthonyMouse 2y agoNote that this data is the absolute number of deaths, not accounting for population size. This is what it looks like when you add "Europe": https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-maternal-deaths?tab=chart&time=earliest..2002&country=AUS~USA~CAN~GBR~NOR~SWE~ESP~FRA~DEU~WHO_EUR https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-maternal-deaths...
- oblio 2y agoThat's still apples and oranges because that's based on the WHO European Region which includes all these countries: https://who-sandbox.squiz.cloud/en/countries https://who-sandbox.squiz.cloud/en/countries Uzbekistan - GDP per capita $2,667 Tajikistan - GDP per capita $1,271 Kyrgyzstan - GDP per capita $1,922 Ukraine - GDP per capita $5,663 Meanwhile: US - GDP per capita $85,373 (LOL) To compare apples to apples you'd want: US vs EU to make it somewhat comparable, or maybe even better: US (334m) vs Germany (83m) + France (67m) + UK (67m) + Italy (59m) + Spain (48m) = 324m people
- AnthonyMouse 2y agoSo you want to use only the richest and most sophisticated EU countries but then compare them against a federation of US states that includes the likes of Mississippi and West Virginia?
- oblio 2y agoLOL, of course. If you don't believe me, compare the GDPs per capita of "the richest and most sophisticated EU countries" versus Mississippi and West Virginia. Hint: the "sophisticated" EU countries are poorer. Comparing ANY US state (average: $85,373) with Tajikistan ($1,271) would be a travesty.
- AnthonyMouse 2y agoMississippi: ~$39,000 GDP per capita, PPP[0]: Turkey: $41,881 Spain: $50,472 Slovenia: $51,407 UK: $56,836 Germany: $66,038 Denmark: $74,958 Norway: $82,264 Ireland: $137,638 Luxembourg: $143,304 [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Europe_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_sovereign_states_in_Eu... The difference between New York (the highest US state by per capita GDP, ~$91,000) and Ireland is larger than the difference between Mississippi and a per-capita GDP of literally zero.
- acje 2y agoPretty sure we can´t divide Mississippi by zero

- AnthonyMouse 2y agoIt's an average. You can average zero in with 140 and still have a higher average than the average of 90 and 40. And what do you expect if you don't average in the zero?
- oblio 2y agoGDP per capita PPP can't buy you many things. It's a disingenuous comparison. You also didn't address my Tajikistan comment, because you know you're but won't admit it.
- ZeroGravitas 2y agoGood spot, same period by deaths per 100,000 births: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/maternal-mortality?tab=chart&time=1985..2002&country=USA~SWE~AUS~CAN~GBR~NOR~DEU~ESP~ITA https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/maternal-mortality?tab=ch...
