Hans Rosling Quotes

The idea is to go from numbers to information to understanding Picture Quote #1

When I have an argument with someone, even with someone I am not very close with, I can’t sleep at night thinking about it. It’s terrible. But I still manage speak out frankly because I have also been gifted with the ability to read people. I can sense when they start to get irritated with me, and then, I shift Picture Quote #1

Few people will appreciate the music if I just show them the notes. Most of us need to [hear it] Picture Quote #1

We have great international experts within India telling us that the climate is changing, and actions has to be taken, otherwise China and India would be the countries most to suffer from climate change Picture Quote #1

Most people are not updated. 50 years ago 1 in 5 children died before age 5, now only 1 in 20! Picture Quote #1

I meet so many that think population growth is a major problem in regard to climate change. But the number of children born per year in the world has stopped growing since 1990.

I’ve done a lot of practical anthropology, living in villages with people and realizing how difficult it is to get out of poverty. When in poverty, people use their skill to avoid hunger. They can’t use it for progress Picture Quote #1

The 1 to 2 billion poorest in the world, who don’t have food for the day, suffer from the worst disease: globalization deficiency. The way globalization is occurring could be much better, but the worst thing is not being part of it. For those people, we need to support good civil societies and governments Picture Quote #1

The shining star in the world is Shanghai. That’s what CEOs from big companies say - ‘if I want mathematical analytical work done, it’s done in China.’ Picture Quote #1

What I’m really worried about is war. Will the former rich countries really accept a completely changed world economy, and a shift of power away from where it has been the last 50 to 100 to 150 years, back to Asia? Picture Quote #1

There’s still racism. Western Europe... has taken the native cultures of the Americas, the African cultures, the Asian civilization and lumped them together into The Others Picture Quote #1

I have a suggestion for a new name for the developing world. Let’s call it the world Picture Quote #1

In my dreams it happens, when I wake up I just hope for an even better and stronger UN Picture Quote #1

There is still a severe and scary amount of extreme poverty in rural parts of India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Burma and sub-Saharan Africa Picture Quote #1

I loved statistics from a young age. And I studied very much in Sweden. I used to be in the upper quarter of all courses I attended. But in St. John’s, I was in the lower quarter. And the fact was that Indian students studied harder than we did in Sweden. They read the textbook twice, or three times or four times Picture Quote #1

While teaching a course on global development at Uppsala University in Sweden, I realized our students didn’t have a fact-based worldview. They talked about ‘we’ and ‘them.’ They thought there were two groups of countries: the Western world, with small families and long lives, and the Third World, with large families and short lives Picture Quote #1

You don’t have to get rich to have [fewer] children. It has happened across the world Picture Quote #1

To get away from poverty, you need several things at the same time: school, health, and infrastructure - those are the public investments. And on the other side, you need market opportunities, information, employment, and human rights Picture Quote #1

If you have democracy, people will vote for washing machines. They love them! Picture Quote #1
