Economic Growth and Life Expectancy in BRICS Countries

The 5 BRCIS countries (Brazil, Russia, China, India, and South Africa) are commonly linked as emerging economies at the same stages of newly advanced economic development. Yet they have taken five distinct routes to their current position and find themselves at five unique points in terms of their Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita, life expectancy at birth, and infant mortality rates.

The goal for the development of each country is to move as far into upper right quadrant of the chart as possible, increasing GDP per capita and life expectancy, while reducing infant mortality. The smaller the circle, the lower the rate of infant mortality. Each country’s plot starts in 1990 and ends in 2012.
