What countries are the worst at registering children?
1. 48,000,000 number of child births around the world every year that go unrecorded.

3. 5,000,000 number of Mexicans lacking birth certificates in 2004.
4. 94% births in Afghanistan, 2000-08, that went unregistered.
5. 25% children born in area hospitals in Mumbai, India, that went without birth certificates.

That's interesting. My birthdate was recorded wrong in Colombia. I get to celebrate it twice a year.
Al and Peggy,
I did not get in on time for the little challenge but those numbers/answers are mesmerizing. I would not have guessed that registration of child births was that bad in those countries.
Al & Peggy - I am stunned that 48 MILLION children go unrecorded each year, did I read that number correctly? WOW
That's a lot of unregistered little ones out there isn't it. 94% is pretty high for a country too.
