1) Choose a country and carefully examine the data from the following sources. Analyze the

data for both the country youve chosen and for the United States.

You may also want to explore the official national data for the country youve chosen. For

the United States, this is the United States Census Bureau:https: //www.census.gov/

2)Based on your analysis of the comparative data complete the Country Comparison template

(available on Blackboard).

3) Answer the following questions in 4-6 pages:

1.What are the key differences between the country your chose and the United States?

2.What are the implications of these differences for social welfare policy in each

country?

4) Submit your completed comparison template and responses to the questions.

If you can find information on Bosnia and Herzegovina using those links then use that country, and if not then use another country in the Balkans. I will also upload the template that you need to use.

also only use the 6 links i sent as references, nothing else.
