Hans Rosling 9, Religions and babies


TEDxSummit 2012  Apr
Hans Rosling 9, Religions and babies (script)
Summary
This is a strange title. How will religions and babies be related? The population is now continuing to grow in the world. It is seven billion. In 1960, it was three billion. Are there religions that stop women from having babies?  However, the answer was no. Religions has very little to do with the number of babies per woman. All the religions in the world are fully capable to maintain their values and adapt to this new world.
According to the data of the speaker proud of, there is a tremendous improvement that the number of children per woman is decreasing in the world, now. Even if the countries that its number was higher in the past decrease the rate without income level and religions.
The reasons why a big improvement happened. 1) It relates to children survive. 2) Many families got out of severe poverty so children are not of importance for work in the family. 3) People started a family planning. 4) The most important is that many women including children started to receive a good education.
In the world, the number of babies per woman is now decreasing though why the world's population faces  10 billion. The reason is that people who are over 30 years old are  currently missing. The population goes to two billion children, two billion young people, two billion adults, two billion old. tow billion more old.  More old will die. Two billion children will be born. This is repeated. It doesn't relate to life getting longer and adding children.
To summarize, religions and babies are not related. The number of children per woman is decreasing in the world though population will grow 10 billion. We have to think of energy urgently.
