The methodology consists in carrying out a correlational investigation through bibliographical reviews that support the data corresponding to 60 observations with the theory, with the determination of explaining through variables of the panel, the variables of greater incidence over time among the different countries. The latent variables obtained from the one were Life Expectancy, GNI Per Capita and Literacy Rate.
