Just like in the US, there are many issues that burden the small country. The population growth rate is probably the worst problem the country faces. The current population growth rate is 1.16 percent. The birth rate is 33.97 births for every 1,000 people, and the death rate is 21.13 deaths for every 1,000 people. With this large birth rate it is not surprising that this population is plagued by HIV/AIDS. Approximately 400,000 people are currently living with aids as of a 1999 count, and a prevalence rate of 11.21 percent. Sadly the infant death rate is very high also, 118.92 deaths for every 1,000 live births and life expectancy isn’t too much better. The average age of life for a Rwandan male is about 38.35 years, while a Rwandan female lives slightly longer at 39.65 years of age. Aside from these issues the environmental issues gain a lot of publicity in Rwanda. Deforestation of the Rwandan forests is the largest of their environmental problems.
