Extreme poverty (headcount ratio) vs Life expectancy at birth, 2016

The horizontal axis shows life expectancy at birth for each country (i.e. the number of years a newborn infant would live if prevailing patterns of mortality at the time of
its birth were to stay the same throughout its life). The vertical axis shows the poverty headcount ratio at 1.90 international dollars (i.e. after adjusting for inflation and
cross-country price differences).
