Libya

Libya's life expectancy (69.34 years) and infant mortality rate (15.900 per 1,000 births) place it in a moderate bracket, reflecting challenges in maintaining consistent public health services. While better than many low-income countries, these figures indicate that the high oil revenues have not fully translated into optimal health outcomes comparable to high-income nations.

Despite years of conflict and political instability, Libya maintains a relatively high GDP per capita of $6,026.52. This figure, driven primarily by oil wealth and a small population, contrasts sharply with many Sub-Saharan African nations and underscores the potential economic strength if stability were achieved.

Libya's environmental profile shows minimal forest area (0.123%), typical for a desert climate. More critically, despite being a major oil producer, access to electricity stands at only 73.200%. This significant gap suggests major infrastructural deficits in power distribution, failing to reach over a quarter of the population.

A striking majority of Libya's population (87.865%) lives in urban areas, which is very high even for a developing nation. This concentration highlights the challenges of inhabiting the vast desert interior and suggests that infrastructure and services are heavily centralized along the coast, despite the country's huge land area of 1.76 million square kilometers.
