The death rate of a country is calculated in the same way as the birth rate. Death rates are influenced by the same factors as birth rates are but for different reasons. Typically, the death rate will fall with an increase in education. This is because a population that is more educated tends to also be more advanced in terms of health care, technology and access to services such as clean water and sanitation. All of these things make it so that people live much longer than generations past.
Death rates can also fluctuate with catastrophes such as famine, war, and flooding. The death rate is also greatly affected by the size of the aging population. If the population of citizens over the age of 70 is small, this may cause the death rate to be smaller for that particular year. However, in countries with smaller birth rates, the aging population may be larger, thus resulting in a larger death rate.
