Why the world population won’t exceed 11 billion | Hans Rosling | TGS.ORG

In part 5 of a 6-part lecture, Hans Rosling uses statistics to give an overview of population growth and an explanation of why the total human population will never reach 11 billion, as others predict and fear.

"poor women are clever otherwise they are dead" holy shit

A few decades ago in the days of CB radios, a truck driver said to me one of the most profound things I've ever heard:
"May you live as long as you want to, and want to as long as you live."

[martinhendy]

First time I've heard this guy speak and I assume from comments that he has now unfortunately passed away. What a brilliant speaker. I love his style and definitely will be watching more of his stuff.

[JasmineJu]

I'd be more engaged in lectures if more lecturers wielded spears.

[tnkme]

I wish he could've followed statistics for fifteen more years.

Who else thought this was a Ted Talk at first

Hans is an example why we have to increase life span of older people. Once you live your life and find your passion you become a jewel in the crown of human society. Hans, you have done really good job. Best work I ever seen explaining it. I am so sorry that you will not do that anymore. Adieu, au revoir, bon voyage, farewell, goodbye and godspeed old chap...

I finished "Factfulness" just now, really great book written by Rosling. I loved the book so much; it is full of useful, interesting and important information. RIP, Hans Rosling!

RIP Hans, thank you for all the wisdom. It was really a punch-in-the-gut feeling when you wished you could live for 15 more years, but unfortunately fate had a different plan. Once, again I sincerely thank you for your efforts in making us understand the world a bit better.

[SirPage]

Rest in peace you beautiful human being.

Hans Rosling, you have showed me so much, and given me hope with that insight. Thank you.

I miss professor Hans. What a great person, lecturer and professional. RIP. ✨🙏🏼

8:12 We all wish he could've had 15 more years :(

"Conceptually, children are moving from Asia to Africa".

I love when a high level thought such as this is grasped and articulated in such a concise manner.

[BikashKumar-pzhc]

Hans Rosling. We miss him.
I really wish he had lived to 100 and beyond.
Genius!

This is a perfect example of why negitive birth rate shouldn’t be perceived as something inherently bad. If people are having less children, it means quality of life is better on average and children have more resources from their parents dedicated to them.

15:48 I got so sad here. I also hope you could have got there. You were an amazing man

[pjacobsen]

Sadly, Hans Rosling didn't make it into the 75-90 age group he hoped for. Hans Rosling: 1948-2017.

[bernardfinucane]

What happens to people like me? Nobody knows that? Nobody has family that are undertakers? They die. We die. Old people die.

Doesn't mean we won't miss you Hans Rosling.

Hans Rosling was simply the best. His death was a great loss to the world and to policy making. I would love to have had his take during the Covid pandemic.

Hans was the Mr Rogers of Statistics to me. He was a brilliant man.
