South Korea

Project Description: The session long project (SLP) consists of an investigation of a country: it can be either an industrialized country (other than the United States), or an advanced developing country (like China); please do not choose a developing country (like Iraq). The relationship between the country’s health and demographics will be addressed.

SLP #2: Investigate your selected country with respect to the health of its population:

1. Discuss the major health issues in your country? The country I selected is South Korea.

2. Identify which health issues disproportionately effect certain groups based on their demographics (e.g. gender, race, age, employment status, location).
