The bar chart displays the life expectancy in 2008 in four different countries and the table 
shows the growth in life expectancy between 1953 and 2008. 
In 2008, the life expectancy of Japan was the highest at 81.7 years, far exceeding that of 
Indonesia, where life expectancy was the lowest at only 70.3 years. The USA and Korea were 
in the middle with life expectancy of 79 and 77 years respectively.
The table shows that Indonesia had the maximum surge in life expectancy, which grew by 
15.7 years. Korea, too had an increase of 12.5 years. The USA and Japan saw a rise in life 
expectancy of 3 and 3.5 years respectively. This depicts that in 1953, the life expectancy in the 
US was more that that of Korea. 
Overall, the life expectancy in Japan was the highest in 1953 and 2008, whereas Indonesia 
had the lowest life expectancy in both 1953 and 2008, even though the escalation was the 
highest.
