Considering 14% of adults in the United States cannot read, 21% of U.S adults read below a 5th grade reading level, and 19% of high school graduates cannot read, France seems to be ahead of the game. Most French students go through nursery school (kindergarten), primary school (elementary), middle, and high school. French schooling is generally free and mandatory from ages 6-16, however universities prefer 6-18.

French People live a long time. France ranks 20th in the world for life expectancy at 81.8 years. The males live approximately 79.1 years and females live to be around 85.8 years old. France's infant morality rate is very low. It is 3 deaths per 1000 lives. My guess for why France's infinite mortality rate is very low is because they are a MDC and they are living in places that are well sanitized and where there are hospitals where the children can be born. Their Natural Increase Rate is 3.78 which is around average. The united states is 5.75. Their Crude birth rate is 12.43. Again around an average number compared to other MDC's In the world.  ]]> 2017-03-03 01:21:57 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157515565 paul_marks42 https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157518890 France's GDP per capita is around $42,300(USD). Ranking 15th in the world.Frances economic structure is a mixed economy that features characteristics of both socialism and capitalism. It makes it less brutal than total capitalism but more efficient that socialism. If you divided France's GDP by the number of hours worked you would find that the French are achieving some of the highest returns on work hours invested. Some of France's raw materials are crude fertilizers, minerals eluding coal, petroleum and precious stone. France's major imports are crude oil, aircraft machinery, chemicals, plastics, and vehicles. Also some smaller imports include petroleum, iron, and transportation equipment]]> 2017-03-03 01:50:06 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157518890 paul_marks42 https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157521372 https://youtu.be/3jsPCWgMdJI]]> 2017-03-03 02:13:47 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157521372 paul_marks42 https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157521637 France is definitely a country in which produces their own food. Some of the most productive farms are located in Northern France, however some are located in other parts due to climate and soil. Their farms export more food than any other European country. France is the only country in Europe to be completely self-sufficient. France is also one of the leaders in Europe in the value of agricultural exports. Examples include: cotton, oils, sugar, wheat, beef, etc. Although France is ahead of the game with producing food, their farm acreage has decreased since the 1950's by more than one million acres. Even though it may sound bad, France is still going strong and staying self-sufficient.]]> 2017-03-03 02:16:51 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157521637 paul_marks42 https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157896019 2017-03-06 00:13:56 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157896019 paul_marks42 https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157896396 2017-03-06 00:17:24 UTC https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/157896396 paul_marks42 https://padlet.com/paul_marks42/ct2bc498j6qv/wish/158229639 By: Martha Corinn Thompson
The video shown above is explaining the history of France. As we know, the history affects the economic development of a country. In the video we hear of war, new leadership, and even religion.
