But methodology varies by government Kenya's qualitative economic Indicators are either significantly better than Nigeria's at best, or at more or less similar at their worst [Center][size=17pt]Educational comparisons[/size][/center] Primary school attainment rate NGR- 74% KE- 100% [I]Kenya is significantly higher[/i] Highschool attainment rate NGR- 42% KE- 57% [I]Kenya is slightly higher[/i] Tertiary education attainment rate NGR- 10% KE- 11% Ke is slightly higher Adult literacy rate NGR- 59.6% KE- 78% Ke is significantly higher Kenya's education Indicators are either significantly better than Nigeria's at best, or at more or less similar at their worst [Center]Health sector comparisons[/center] hospital beds per 1000ppl (UNDP data] NGR- 0.9 KE- 1.4 Ke has a significantly better hospital infra per person Nurses & midwives per 1000ppl (UNDP data] NGR- 1.2 KE- 1.2 [I]same[/i] Physicians per 1000ppl (UNDP data] NGR-0.4 KE-0.2 [I]Ngr has a significantly better number of physicians per capita at double[/i] Specialist Surgical staff per 100kppl (UNDP data] NGR- 1 KE- 2 [I]Ke has a significantly better number of specialist surgical staff per capita at double[/i] child mortality per 1000 live births (UNDP data] NGR- 117 KE- 43 [I]Ke has much better child care[/i] Prevalence of HIV NGR- 1.3% KE- 4.5% [I]Ngr has much lower HIV infection rates[/i] Births attended by skilled worker % (UNDP data) NGR- 43% KE- 62% [I]Ke has significantly better natal healthcare[/i] Kenya has in average better health care with more leads, but Nigeria leads in several indexes. [Center]conclusions[/center] Kenya is ahead of Nigeria in all key development aspects. But per indexes, Nigeria does have some areas where it is better, though Kenya is better in far much more indexes. |
