Background Denmark has one of the highest <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes">total number of crimes</a>&nbsp;globally, with 491,026 crimes reported in 2002 - the 24th highest. Indeed, some 23% of the population claim to have been <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri_vic-crime-total-victims">victims of a crime</a>. Despite these facts, Danish people believe that their country is one of the safest, with 81% stating they feel they can <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_per_of_saf_wal_in_dar-crime-perception-safety-walking-dark">walk in the dark safely</a>, and 71% admitting their are satisfied with <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_bel_in_pol_eff-crime-believe-in-police-efficiency">police efficiency</a>. Mexico&rsquo;s reputation as one of the most dangerous nations in the world is upheld by the fact that in 2002, it was top of a list of 42 nations for <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_man-crime-manslaughters">manslaughters</a> and 5th for the number of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_mur_com_by_you-crime-murders-committed-by-youths">murders</a> committed by youths. Unsurprisingly, they have the 3rd highest number of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/cri-crime">prisoners</a>, with 173,000. <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/eco-economy">http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/eco-economy</a>Despite the fact that Mexico&rsquo;s economy is one of largest in the world, with a <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_gdp-economy-gdp">GDP </a>of over $839 billion, Mexico still has the highest percentage of a nation population earning below half of the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_pop_bel_med_inc-economy-population-below-median-income">median income</a>, with some 16% of the country earning less than <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_pop_und_1_a_day-economy-population-under-1-day">$1 per day</a>. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/edu-education Mexico has the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_tea_wee_per_yea_pri-teaching-weeks-per-year-primary">longest school year</a> in Latin America and the 5th longest in the world, with primary school students spending 42 weeks in the classroom. Despite this fact, Mexican 15 year old are bottom of the class amongst 27 nations in <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_rea_lit-education-reading-literacy">reading</a>, <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_mat_lit-education-mathematical-literacy">mathematical</a> and <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_sci_lit-education-scientific-literacy">scientific</a> literacy. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/gov-government A federal democracy, the Mexican government is not shy of equality in representation, with some 24% of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/gov_pro_of_sea_hel_by_wom_in_nat_par-seats-held-women-national-parliament">parliamentary seats</a> held by women. However, it is also the 17th most expensive <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/gov_gen_gov_fin_con_exp_cur_us-final-consumption-expenditure-current-us">government</a> in the world to run, costing the Mexican taxpayer some $88.7 million in 2005. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/hea-health One of Mexico&rsquo;s chief health concerns is <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_obe-health-obesity">obesity</a>. With 24.2% of its population considered obese, it is 2nd in the world behind its northern neighbors, the US. Most recent figures show government spending on <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_exp_pub_of_gdp-health-expenditure-public-of-gdp">health</a> is amongst the lowest in the world, at just 3.02% of GDP - just ahead of North Korea. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/imm-immigration Despite its size and economic significance, Mexico is home to just 0.5% of the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/imm_imm_pop_per_of_tot_num_of_imm_in_the_wor-percentage-total-number-immigrants-world">world&rsquo;s immigrants</a>. However, the country has a <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/imm_net_mig_rat-immigration-net-migration-rate">net migration</a> figure of - 3.84 per 1,000, which means more citizens emigrate than immigrants come in. Unsurprisingly, the favored destination for <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/imm_imm_to_the_uni_sta_ori_2010-immigration-united-states-origin-2010">Mexican emigrants</a> is the US. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/lab-labor Mexico has a <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lab_for_tot-labor-force-total">total labor force</a> of more than 42 million people, the 12th largest in the world. Of that figure, there is a heavy reliance on the services industry, with 58% of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lab_lab_for_by_occ-labor-force-by-occupation">labor force</a> employed working in that sector, with industrial sector 2nd and the agricultural sector 3rd. Interestingly, just over 15% of the labor force can boast <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/lab_for_wit_ter_edu_of_tot-labor-force-tertiary-education-total">3rd level education</a>. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/peo-people With one of the biggest populations in the world, some 75% of the population is to be found in <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_per_liv_in_urb_are-people-percentage-living-urban-areas">urban areas</a>. In 2005, Mexico had the 7th largest urban population in the world, with a total of 78 million people - 6 million less than 6th-placed Japan, and 450 million short of leaders China! http://www.nationmaster.com/country/mx-mexico/rel-religion With such a strong Spanish heritage, there can be little surprise in the fact that the state is strongly Roman Catholic. In fact, Mexico is home to the 2nd highest <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_rom_cat_by_cou_rom_cat_cat_tot-roman-catholicism-country-catholic-total">Catholic population</a> in the world, behind Brazil. However, less than half of Mexican Catholics <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_chu_att-religion-church-attendance">attend church</a> regularly. The other key <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_rel_all-religion-religions-all">religion</a> is Protestant, with the remaining 5% including 318,000 Muslims and just 40,000 <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/rel_jew-religion-jews">Jews</a>. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/my-malaysia Despite being spread across the northern region of the island of Borneo and the southern half of the Malay peninsula, Malaysia has just three neighbors. It surrounds Brunei (381km), <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/geo_lan_bou_bor_cou-geography-land-boundaries-border-countries">borders</a> Indonesia to the south (1,782km) and has Thailand (506km) to the north of the Malay peninsula. However, it has a cast coastline most of which faces onto the South China sea. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/my-malaysia/cri-crime Malaysia is one of the strictest societies in the world, with by far the most amount of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_jai-crime-jails">jails</a>. In fact, it has 17 times that number of penitentiaries as the US, despite having less than 10% of the <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/peo_pop-people-population">national population</a>. Stlll, the policy seems to work as a deterrent, with just 167,000 <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/cri_tot_cri-crime-total-crimes">crimes in total</a> recorded in 2002.http://www.nationmaster.com/country/my-malaysia/eco-economyMalaysia has one of the most celebrated economies in Asia, but it has fallen behind some of its regional neighbors in recent decades - most notably Hong Kong, Thailand and Indonesia, all of whom have greater <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_gdp-economy-gdp">total GDP</a> figures. However, the economy continues to grow steadily, a a <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/eco_gdp_gro_ann-economy-gdp-growth-annual">growth in GDP</a> of 5.16% in 2005. http://www.nationmaster.com/country/my-malaysia/edu-education Education is one of the priority sectors in Malaysia, with most recent figures showing its represented some 28% of <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_pub_spe_on_edu_tot_of_gov_exp-public-spending-total-government-expenditure">public expenditure </a> - the 5th highest figure globally - dedicated to the area, according to figures in 2003. The state also has the 7th longest <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/edu_tea_wee_per_yea_pri-teaching-weeks-per-year-primary">school year </a>in the world, with primary school students spending 41 weeks in the classroom, though 3 behind southern neighbors Indonesia. <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/country/my-malaysia/hea-health">http://www.nationmaster.com/country/my-malaysia/hea-health</a>In general, Malaysia is a fairly healthy country to live in, with males having only a 5% chance of <a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nationmaster.com%2Fgraph%2Fhea_pro_of_not_rea_40-health-probability-not-reaching-40&amp;sa=D&amp;sntz=1&amp;usg=AFQjCNGAQzoiNCXmlQQyMZujkvBgqcz76g">not reaching 40</a> years of age, and enjoying 70% <a href="http://www.nationmaster.com/graph/hea_pro_of_rea_65_mal-health-probability-reaching-65-male">probability of reaching 65</a>.
