Explain?

Real causal explanations are difficult to filter out I think. My opinion is more based on correlations.
However, I digged in a bit to see whether there are already some analysises available that could explain in plausible terms.
And found only many factors mentioned.
Also the WHO has nothing clear cut, and much is simple "explained" by country culture and tradition.
However.... I do see that the amount of home births has decreased strongly everywhere in the last decades... and that article I used in my post is as incorrect as my gutfeeling about the percentage home childbirth.
It reflects better the childbirths where a midwife was involved.
There is in many countries since WW2 a clear struggle between hospitals (doctors) and midwifes, where national insurances play a role as well.

I get back to it in a later post... because it is interesting
Medicalisation goes hand in hand with the commercial interests of the hospitals, but also the increased age of women getting a child, where complications come in.
Also on that medicalisation. The amount of Caesarian section births (C-section) has increased well beyond the 10-15% that the WHO considers as needed and advisable.
(see the following article https://www.bellybelly.com.au/birth/highest-c-section-rates-by-country/ )

Unfortunately I do not have a graph for this though. And I guess technically he'd be a midhusband?

Literally the first paragraph tells you that "midwife" refers to the client, not the professional.

 

[Kyriakos]

Besides, a very famous midwife was Socrates.

(albeit metaphorically, and in his own words he names himself this way)

Another somewhat known midwife was Socrates' mother, of course

Dutch mining became economical obsolete when in the 60ies the biggest natural gas field of Europe, dicovered in the Northern Dutch province, was put in production.
There were in the state owned mines in the southern province Limburg 45.000 miners and 30.000 more indirect related jobs.
These mines were BTW at great depth, making them expensive, but still developed because of strategic reasons, to have our own national coal supply.


There was a social-democratic government at that time.
Between 1965-1975 massive governmental subsidies were put available for industry to set up new business in Limburg: in total 92 companies.
However... only 16,000 new jobs were created and only 7,500 miners were succesfully retrained for other jobs. 17,000 people found jobs in (very) nearby Germany and Belgium.
About 16,000 got early retirement, retirement or died during that 10 year period.

So all in all, with really massive governmental support of the famous red Minister later PM Joop Den Uyl, 18,000 miners and indirect jobs, 25%, were still not replaced in that big action.
But at least something was done from the rich provinces and the wealth of the natural gas field to prevent one province, that was already kind of backward, go in full poverty.

Over a much longer time. the state owned mining companies were transformed in the knowledge and capital intensive chemical company DSM, supplying 20-25k jobs

Solar jobs don't tend to pay as well as coal ones but they are much less dangerous and far more distributed geographically.

120,000 federal police. 765,000 full time, and 44,000 part time state and local police. So out of some 900,000, 124 died in a year, mostly accidentally. That's one of the safest jobs in the country.

Here's another

Pregnancy related deaths too are going the wrong way

Being a cop in the States seems to be safer than becoming a mother, even in developed countries, and especially in the States.

yes

but I guess fear has more effect on the percepted reality of cobs than facts.

It's just a frightening statistic, actually. That said, since being a cop is a career, they actually roll the dice multiple times, once every year.

This will all be changing over the months, as the substance known as THC becomes legal at some point late spring/early summer. But for now this is how things stand

I'm sure you can get mail order brides from many of those places.

Charts are so yummy and fun for the brain, yay!

 

[Kyriakos]

I am sure those aren't exactly the typical female faces for each country ^^

Those are the averaged faces. If you take a large number of faces, and average them together, you get a symmetrical face, which is usually an attractive one.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well, 'averaged' does not seem to tie to 'average' though, so isn't typical at any rate
Furthermore, i sort of doubt they 'averaged' half of the population of each of those countries.

 

[El_Machinae]

"Your eyes, they're like poetry. And your lips, they remind me of the statistical average of hundreds, no! thousands! of merged lips ..."

"And your dainty, dainty feet - apparently they cannot run angry nearly as quickly as mine can run scared"

I mean there's more to it than just being symmetrical, but still

 

[Kyriakos]

I don't think that is the average english girl's face. And likely that isn't the only oddity there.
Russia+Ukraine are that former chief judge of Crimea ^^
