Belgium is one of the founding members of the
European Union and has a population of
about 10.4 million inhabitants and an area of about 30,500 km˛ . This
means that Belgium can be classified as middle-sized country. In terms
of economic power, the country ranks number 28. This is largely because
of the very high GDP per capita, which means that the standard of living
in Belgium is very high. In terms of economic activity and unemployment
rate, the Belgium economy is not that good.
With almost reaching 79 years, the life expectancy in Belgium is very
high. Another positive aspect is the very low AIDS rate. On the other
hand, Belgium emits a lot of greenhouse gases based on a per capita
basis. As like for many other developed countries, there is no data
available for the literacy rate. It can be assumed that that rate would
be very high, when looking at the long school life expectancy. The
tertiary education enrolment rate with just over 60% is not that good.
