Description
The Isthmus of Panama is the umbilical cord joining South and Central America. It borders Costa Rica to the west and Colombia to the east. Panama's arched shape reflects both its role as a bridge between continents and as a passageway between oceans. At its narrowest point, it is only 50km (30mi) wide, but it has a 1160km (720mi) Caribbean coastline on its northern shore and a 1690km (1048mi) Pacific coast to the south. The famous canal is 80km (50mi) long and effectively divides the country into eastern and western regions.
Panama's population is currently at approximately 2,778,440 according to the national census of May 14, 2000. The population is a mix of many different races: about 14 percent African descent, 10 percent Spanish descent, five percent Indian and 62 percent "Mestizo" (IPAT, 1998). The population growth rate is estimated at 1.53% (1999). The life expectancy at birth for the total population is 74.66 years.
In Latin America, Panama ranks as one of the best places to live, according to a 1998 business survey of 192 cities worldwide by the Corporate Resources Group. Panama ranked among the top three cities in which to live in Latin America next to Buenos Aires and Montevideo. The survey takes into account transportation, crime rate, arts and entertainment. In executive living expenses, recreation and entertainment costs and prices of basic goods, Panama ranks well below Buenos Aries, Sao Paulo, Santiago and Caracas (EIU, Worldwide Cost of Living Survey). Telecommunications costs are also below those in Argentina, Chile, Mexico, Brazil and Venezuela (Source: Latin Trade, May 1999).
