Among the various challenges the country faces is a very high homicide rate. Drug trafficking is one of the major reasons for the high level of crime in Colombia.

Colombia’s population that is over 60 years of age is expected to increase through 2017. The government is likely to face issues related to its aging population by 2017, as healthcare costs for aging population are nearly eight times higher than that of children.

Colombia registers high national literacy rate with ample enrolment in tertiary education, which shows the quality of higher education. The government is increasingly spending more on education.
