The challenges that Albania face is their literacy rate, it is JUST above average by one country. Literacy rate is very good because it means how “smart” the country is and how likely it is to become a first world country. It is also good to have a medium of a literacy rate because then you are still most likely to get up to that point. The fertility rate is 2.03 children per children. The halfway line in the graph is number 106, Albania is number 133, that is very low compared to the halfway line. That shows that women don’t give birth to children a lot. The infant mortality rate is 20.75/1000 live births. This means that they’re in 110^th place again and that is also JUST above the average of countries. That is not very good to be in that place because it means that a lot of infants are still dying. A way that they could improve this is by the country trying to prevent natural disasters such as destructive earthquakes; tsunamis occur along southwestern coast; floods; droughts.
