1. Overview

#cuba #france #UK #USA

“Carib Indians inhabited Grenada when Christopher COLUMBUS discovered the island in 1498, but it remained uncolonized for more than a century. The French settled Grenada in the 17th century, established sugar estates, and imported large numbers of African slaves. Britain took the island in 1762 and vigorously expanded sugar production. In the 19th century, cacao eventually surpassed sugar as the main export crop; in the 20th century, nutmeg became the leading export. In 1967, Britain gave Grenada autonomy over its internal affairs. Full independence was attained in 1974 making Grenada one of the smallest independent countries in the Western Hemisphere. Grenada was seized by a Marxist military council on 19 October 1983. Six days later the island was invaded by US forces and those of six other Caribbean nations, which quickly captured the ringleaders and their hundreds of Cuban advisers. Free elections were reinstituted the following year and have continued since that time. Hurricane Ivan struck Grenada in September of 2004 causing severe damage.”

CIA's The World Factbook (2013)₉

“White sand, turquoise sea, palm trees and no crowds make Grenada´s beaches truly sublime. And if the mainland´s too much fun, island-hop to Carriacou and Petit Martinique. The most southerly islands in the Windward chain, Grenada and Carriacou (plus little Petit Martinique) are best known for having been invaded by the US in the 1980s and pummeled by Hurricane Ivan in the 2000s. But the storm damage is long gone and the American occupation a distant memory, and today the islands are some of the Caribbean´s most appealing.

From palm-backed white sand and translucent water to gray-black dunes and rolling breakers, the beaches are gorgeous. Grenada´s corrugated coastline rises up to mist-swathed rainforest laced with hiking trails and swimmable waterfalls. St George´s, with its market, forts and postcard-perfect Carenage harbor, makes for a picturesque and friendly capital, and is the departure point for ferries to the laid-back sister isles of Carriacou and Petit Martinique. And though cruise ships inject a regular flow of short-stay visitors to Grenada, you´ll find all three islands refreshingly quiet and uncrowded.”

The United Nations produces an annual Human Development Report which includes the Human Development Index. The factors taken into account include life expectancy, education and schooling and Gross National Income (GNI) amongst many others..

The Social and Moral Development Index concentrates on moral issues and human rights, violence, public health, equality, tolerance, freedom and effectiveness in climate change mitigation and environmentalism, and on some technological issues. A country scores higher for achieving well in those areas, and for sustaining that achievement in the long term. Those countries towards the top of this index can truly said to be setting good examples and leading humankind onwards into a bright, humane, and free future. See: Which are the Best Countries in the World? The Social and Moral Development Index.

3. Grenada's Demographics and Migration

#birth_control #demographics #fertility #health #immigration #life_expectancy #longevity #migration #overpopulation #population #yemen

Population:

Grenada's population is predicted to fall to 108 000 by 2030. This country has a fertility rate of 1.99. The fertility rate is, in simple terms, the average amount of children that each woman has. The higher the figure, the quicker the population will grow, although, to calculate the rate you also need to take into account morbidity - the rate at which people die. If people live healthy and long lives and morbidity is low, then, 2.0 approximates to the replacement rate (two new children for each set of parents who die), which would keep the population stable. If all countries had such a fertility rate, population growth would end. The actual replacement rate in most developed countries is around 2.1. The highest fertility rate ever detected in a single year was in Yemen in 1985, at 8.86.₁₃

The countries with the best overall approach to public health, in terms of both public policy and individual lifestyle choices, are Monaco, The Maldives and Sri Lanka₂₅. These countries are worth emulating. And, although often through no fault of the average citizen, the worst countries are S. Sudan, The Marshall Islands and Nigeria₂₅.

The data sets used to calculate points for each country are its average life expectancy, its alcohol consumption rate, its fertility rate, its smoking rate, its suicide rate, its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance, the prevalence of overweight adults, its adolescent birth rate and its immunizations take-up. The regions with the best average results per country are Scandinavia, Asia and The Mediterranean₂₅, whereas the worst are Micronesia, Africa and Australasia₂₅.

Health:

Grenada does relatively well in encouraging good health, compared to many other countries. Grenada performs the best in terms of its suicide rate₂₆. It comes in the best 20 in its fertility rate₁₄. It does better than average when it comes to its smoking rate₂₇, its average life expectancy₁₁, its immunizations take-up₂₈ and in its adolescent birth rate₂₉. But, things still need to improve in Grenada. Grenada does worse than average for its food aid and health contributions and WHO compliance₃₀ and in its alcohol consumption rate₃₁. The prevalence of overweight adults has increased by 14% between 1976 and 2016. Life expectancy in Grenada improved by +4.2yrs in the 30 years from 1990, less than the global average of +7.9yrs. Grenada's peak fertility rate was 6.74 in 1960.

Amongst the highest in The Americas in terms of its responsibility towards the environment, Grenada comes 162nd in the world. This rank is derived from 4 data sets. Grenada does better than average when it comes to how quickly it ratified the 1993 Convention on Biological Diversity and in its forested percent change 2000-2020₃₄. And finally, it does worse than average for its environmental performance₃₅ (amongst the lowest in The Americas) and in reducing annual meat consumption per person₃₆.
