THE TRANSPARENT CONVERSATION BETWEEN HANS ROSLING AND REPORTER
Hans: You can’t use media if you want to
understand the world.
The reporter: That can of course be a point
Hans: You need to have a basic education
from school and then you need to follow up on these basic facts. If you believe
that the majority of the world populations are really poor, the girls don’t go
to school, children aren’t vaccinated. And here are the rich countries and they
try to get here as refugees. Then you don’t know the way it is. You need to
understand that there are countries on all levels and most are somewhere in the
middle. They go to school, they are vaccinated and they have two child
families. You were talking about population growth. The number of children in
the world has stopped increasing, because most people use contraceptives. And
the Danish journalists didn’t know this when i asked them today.
