Bolivia

Bolivia maintains a relatively high fertility rate (2.55 children per woman) compared to the regional average in South America (often below 2.1). This rate ensures continued population growth, but also places ongoing demands on education, health, and employment infrastructure.

Bolivia retains a massive amount of natural forest, with 46.346% of its total land area covered by forest. This is a crucial environmental asset, significantly higher than the global average, highlighting its status as a major custodian of Amazonian and other biomes, despite potential pressures from agricultural expansion.

A significant infrastructure achievement is the near-universal access to electricity, reaching 99.800% of the population. This high rate indicates successful national electrification programs, ensuring that basic power access is not a major barrier to development, even in rural or remote areas.

Bolivia is highly urbanized, with over 70% of its population living in urban areas. This high rate (70.915%) is typical of middle-income countries, suggesting significant internal migration towards major cities like La Paz and Santa Cruz, putting pressure on urban infrastructure and services.
