The following two tables demonstrate some data connected with Arabic countries. Table 1 obtains information about the state of affairs peculiar for selected countries in 1980 while Table 2 presents more modern data which was obtained in 2010. Having compared these two tables, it is possible to make certain conclusions. First of all, it should be said that all countries have a significant population increase. Sometimes, it is more than 50 per cent. That is why it is possible to suggest that such rates of the growth of population can lead to overpopulation of these countries. However, very often this fact does not mean significant growth of the economy of a state. Moreover, very often countries show negative exponents of the GDP rate. That is why this phenomenon can be taken as the main evidence of the problem of poverty peculiar for the majority of these states. Nevertheless, access to the Internet can also prove this statement.
Being the richest state in the list, the UAE has the widest accesses to this technology. It is obvious, that the Internet is not a cheap service and people, who live under horrible conditions, cannot afford it. Besides, showings of the literacy rate can also be rather interesting. With the help of these tables, we can see that there are no showings in Table 1. It is possible to suggest that this issue was not interesting and peculiar for researchers in those times. Additionally, the absence of the interest can be taken as evidence of the fact that the majority of people were uneducated. However, there is a positive shift in the situation nowadays. Table 2 shows that the number of people who have at least some knowledge increases. This fact can serve as a sign of the improvement of the educational sphere in these countries. There is one more surprising fact. Being one of the richest states in the world, the UAE has poor showings of the GDP growth per capita. This fact can introduce some discussion about the main reasons for this process.
