Gapminder Foundation · Lecture · YouTube title: DON'T PANIC — Hans Rosling showing the facts about population
Why it's here
HN repeatedly recommends it to counter overpopulation alarm with data on falling birth rates.

Hans Rosling uses data and animated statistics to show how world population is changing, why birth rates fall as child survival and wealth rise, and why population is expected to peak around 11 billion. It also tackles common misconceptions about Africa and family planning.
