(cont'd from yesterday's post)
Hans made three points while surveying his audience in the TED talk regarding girls' education, natural disaster survival, and decline of abject poverty, all global in scope. His fourth point was that people in general are ignorant of the good news about the first three points.
Here's an hour-long documentary demonstrating all of that. See the progress for one Mozambique family: "It's so great seeing Olivia and Andrea pedaling their way out of extreme poverty!" Their newly purchased bicycle eliminates hours of walking to sell their crops, bring water, and go to literacy class.
A vivid illustration shows why global population will decline after peaking in only a few decades. Global population is expected to peak at 9.7 billion around 2064. After that, it will decline. And there will be more old people than young people.
