1 FinlandLife expectancy in Finland is high; the life expectancy of men is 78 years and that of women is 84 years. Life expectancy at birth for both sexes is 81 years, while the global average is 70 years. The probability of dying under the age of five is 3 in 1000 live births. In Finland the main causes of death among children under five are congenital anomalies (36%) and other diseases (28%). The probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60 is 116 among men and 51 among women (per 1000 inhabitants). There is a notable difference between men and women. (WHO 2013a, 2013b)2.2 United KingdomLife expectancy at birth in the United Kingdom is 79 years among men and 82 among women. The difference between Finland and the United Kingdom is minimal. The chance of dying under the age of five is 5 in 1,000 live births. The main causes of death among children under five are prematurity (35%) and congenital anomalies (27%). The probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60 is 91 among men and 57 among women (per 1000 inhabitants). As in Finland, there is a noticeable difference between men and women, although not as big as in Finland. (WHO 2013c, 2013d)2.3 EthiopiaLife expectancy at birth in Ethiopia is 59 years among men and 62 among women. As expected, there is a notable contrast between Finland, the UK and Ethiopia. The probability of dying under the age of five concerns 68 out of 1000 live births. The main causes of death among children under five are pseudonymosis (21%) and other diseases (18%). The probability of dying between the ages of 15 and 60 is 306 among men and 265 among women (per 1000 inhabitants). The number is alarming. Ethiopia has an extremely poor health status compared to other low-income countries, even in sub-Saharan Africa. The biggest health problem... middle of paper... is difficult to eliminate. Such habits and traditions are, for example, female genital mutilation. This type of tradition is especially difficult to eliminate since it is a traditional practice and part of culture that has been going on for thousands of years. Most women also believe that without the procedure young women will be ostracized for life and that their chances of finding a good husband and a secure future will be ruined. Although female genital mutilation and cutting is against the law, tradition still seems to be stronger than the law in Ethiopia. Various interventions have been attempted, but the reduction in prevalence is still slow. This raises questions and speculation about their effectiveness and the need to channel limited resources where they can make the greatest difference in pursuing women's health promotion goals.
