[Assam] From TOI: pre/Teens -1% in UK

[Krishnendu Chakraborty]

There are 40,000 teen conceptions (from your same page)  and rest 25K are aborted.  I thought conception is what is called pregnancy  and NOT mother.    But again ,  you might know better :-)
 
As for poor -- it is by definition --   per some definition (statistics) it stands at 40%  ... even that is high compared to teen mother of 1%  ( I did not verify the teen mother percent but will take your words).    
 
But what does this comparision of Apples and Oranges say  ???  
 
May be you can explain us HOW teen pregnancy and Poverty are related 
 
 
 
 
AIDS --- India is NOT the leader. Your statistics says so.    It has LOWER percent then US.   India has a billion people and so 5 million is still a pretty low number.   If absolute numbers say everything,  India is probably richer then many European countries having many millionaire.   Are you agreing to that ?
 
 
 
Zimbabawe -- yes Boyle can make  and probably will make.   The point is,  when you have a problem in your backyard why would you go to your neighbour's house to see his problem -- unless you have a voyuristic interest.
 
 
 
>>wonderful!! Now you are talking. Imentioned percent and also actual numbers for teen mothers (just 15,000 in UK per year 1% of age group) compared to poor in India 85.7% or 860 million!!

>>Okay lets take AIDS -- India is again a world leader!!! 5 million -- second only after South Africa. In percentage terms Boyle should make movie about Zimbabwe which has 25% adult population with HIV/AIDS
