Cambodia

While life expectancy is reasonable (70.67 years), the infant mortality rate remains high at 20.300 per 1,000 live births. This suggests persistent challenges in maternal and child health care, sanitation, and access to quality medical services, particularly in rural areas.

Despite rapid economic development and population growth, Cambodia maintains a substantial forest area, covering over 43% of its land. Preservation of this natural capital is critical, though monitoring deforestation pressure remains important given infrastructure expansion.

A high percentage of the population (95.000%) has access to electricity, which is a strong indicator of infrastructure development and improved quality of life. This high rate is essential for supporting industrialization and modernizing the economy.

Cambodia's fertility rate of 2.58 is significantly above the replacement level (2.1), indicating a young and growing population. This demographic trend creates a challenge for resource allocation, particularly in education and job creation, but also provides a large future workforce.
