Hans Rosling's famous lectures combine enormous quantities of public data with a sport's commentator's style to reveal the story of the world's past, present and future development. Now he explores stats in a way he has never done before - using augmented reality animation. In this spectacular section of 'The Joy of Stats' he tells the story of the world in 200 countries over 200 years using 120,000 numbers - in just four minutes. Plotting life expectancy against income for every country since 1810, Hans shows how the world we live in is radically different from the world most of us imagine.

+1 here.

The video starts off with an extremely imperative and often overlooked fact: data is wildly more powerful when it is both easy to understand and engaging to the public. He certainly achieved both of those things in this short video.
RIP Hans Rosling, 1948-2017.
hoplahey Thanks for this info. He was a wonderful human being. His personal presentation style and his graphics are great examples.
Rest in peace... and thank you so much!
hoplahey shame to hear he died. We watched his talk on overpopulation in geography today and I found it fascinating and he was so animated. When did he die do you know.
Nooo ? :'( This guy was so nice ! He explained better than anyone
It's so sad that he passed away so early!
Hans Rosling was truly one of the kind...A special human being indeed who believed in the possibilities of all countries in the world being healthy and wealthy.... He shall be greatly missed.
For Josep Borrell, Chief European Diplomat, "Europe is a "garden" while the rest of the world is a jungle"!!
The REALITY is that from Spain to France via Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands.. European & Western "garden" is built on the genocide of indigenous peoples and the plundering of the “jungle” From India To China To Africa & Native Americas and not on European ingenuity or ANY universal human values!!
Meanwhile, a short period of 200 years demonstrates the health & prosperity of the world from Slavery/Colonization to Decolonization!! A period going back 15,000 years will show the REALITY & give a better picture of human evolution!!
This video is one of the reasons why I am doing statistics today
I like your "Beautiful Songs" list!
Happy for you that you got it in the right time!
same
The graphic design was done by Navneet Team in New Delhi/Germany. I'm proud to be part of this project which was finally used in BBC reel, a 5 months hardworking project. Thumbs up to all the team,
As a UK Citizen who pays his Annual TV license, thank you. This is the beauty of publicly funded TV.
@@gavinmurrell3415 Hey you welcome.
He passed away from pancreatic cancer this morning. Rest in peace Hans. We'll keep on progressing!!!
Very interesting. Love his passion for his job.
Right? His passion is BOMB
"1948 was a great year, .... and I was born" :)
It is with great sadness that I have learned that Hans Rosling passed away this morning. For me, this video was the greatest data story that's ever been told. His contributions to data storytelling and global health will be remembered long into the future.
I think many commenters missed the point of this video. Hans Rosling is trying to show the audience how effective Data Visualization can be as a communication tool if done correctly.
+paul johnson thought so too...any chance you know whats the tool used?
Its available as a download at www.gapminder.org/downloads/
cheers
Mike
No. He was a statics person. And what he talks about is super interesting to me. You can check his full presentation Don’t Panic world population.
im using this as my response on the module question, this it!
Yess. I had to see this video as a part of a data visualization course.
R.I.P Hans Rosling. Your work is an inspiration to anyone trying to be a data scientist.
RIP Hans Rosling ✨📊 Thank you for all your vivid presentations 🙋🏻♂️🌟
When the world can look increasingly dark, I return to Rosling's videos to see the big picture and the progress we are still making.
This video really made me appreciate statistics more. In my day to day life I tend to find stats often, and I consider them quite boring. But watching several countries in the world drop to the bottom of a chart for a split second, and then bounce back up really gives me a new sense of appreciation for stats. This is fantastic work.
"WHAT A CATASTROPHE."
WHAT AN APOSTROPHE.
"Pretty heat huh?"
Press 4 :D
@amy zhang it means 1. Any large and disastrous event of great significance.
2. insurance A disaster beyond expectations
3. narratology The dramatic event that initiates the resolution of the plot in a tragedy.
is this good enough
@@pashadyne literally Eric and Amy did so read the whole comment before u try to come for me -_-
Amazing effort. Really goes to show we're in one of the most prosperous times in history.
What is the name of this graph
I'm glad your life is working out.
prosperity is a geometric progression, once increasing, will increase each time more fast
it also shows that Western culture is superior.
Some interesting criticism from another Swede academic : ruclips.net/video/OoIcsj9ysvs/видео.html
This was just *Amazing!* R.I.P Prof. Hans.
My absolute favorite visualization example ever! Outstanding presentation! Love it!
I heart Hans Rosling so much.
Hans Rosling will be sorely missed. I treat all of my population and sociology students to his presentations. We need more great communicators like him.
This video was phenomenal, this visual representation along with the enthusiasm of Hans Rosling keep me engaged and focused. Also, being able to see how far the world has come in 200 years gives me hope that we will just continue to move toward the "rich and healthy" corner.
Absolute legend! Making sure people see and hear facts too, instead of only headlines. We need people like this!
I like to imagine he's walking around in an empty room trying to guess where the graph is, and the editor needs to keep moving it around so it matches up
This was an incredible video. Truly inspiring to see such large numbers visualized. Thank you dearly for the upload BBC.
Pretty neat!, häää?
hmmm
still the most joyful way to make stats interesting and all due to the joy that is Hans Rosling.
This video puts a lot into perspective. Showing us how much the world has changed and developed in the past 200 years. I was extremely surprised at how well this graphic represents the evolution of the past 200 years within a 4 minute span. He put all of the data he collected into a very well put together visual presentation that allowed many of us to understand better than we have otherwise. It was amusing to see how much healthier and richer many countries got over the years. Hands down one of the best interpretations I have seen.
I love you shawty
One of the most optimistic public health researchers, or heck, any researchers, in the world. And he's right!
He is just in the "what has been" department. The future does not look that prommissing. Fracking and Tar Sands will not make a dent. It will only worsen climate change cause by AGW. Energyconsumption did not decouple from economic output. In the next 30 years we need all the energy we have used in all of history before. Where will you get that much fossile fuels from? Extraction has allready peaked. A spike in demand would cause a massive recession because of peaking prices for mostly everything. We are in for a rough ride.
Anyone else see him at the Tableau conference today (Sept 11, 2014)?
Simply brilliant.
I love Hans Rosling and his work!!
Who's watching this in 2020? Stay at home people
Manav Chhuneja yep for my homework 😖
Yup me 2
I sat here thinking ‘hell next year what will those dots look like’
*cough* 2020 *cough*
*cough* corona *cough*
Fatz B Don’t you think it’s fascinating though? Like...not homework. Homework sucks. But the information...? Maybe it’s not as relevant to people when they’re still in school. Personally, I’m addicted to learning stuff like this, but then again, I’m also an adult. So. More time to build those dopamine feedback loops I guess. Lol.
I have watched this video several times and I was astonished every time I watched it. Engaging, Informative and Vivid! 💯💯💯
Totally awesome way to present the information.
I had the extraordinarily pleasure of watching late Mr Rosling live in 2015. If I remember correctly he spoke for about 2 hours about differences in and between countries and how little we actually know about it. He raised questions we didn’t know we wanted to ask, and flipped over assumptions we were convinced about. Today, in the middle of a pandemic, we wish more than ever that Rosling still was able to blow our minds with real facts. Despite the need for him, I’m still relieved that he didn’t have to go through yet another catastrophe after all the work he went through. If you haven’t already, I strongly suggest that you read his two books about him and his work. Rest In Peace Hans 💙
what are the book names?
Professor Rosling is one of my heroes. I show this video in my international accounting class.
I watched this video in my high school English class, and I found it quite fascinating. I have used Gapminder before, but I thought it was really cool, and engaging to have the visual and Hans Rosling explaining it. I really love the expression/excitement in Hans Rosling's voice, it makes watching this video much more interesting. I also really enjoy Hans Rosling's optimism for the future. I really like this video and I think it is a smart way to show how things have changed in terms of wealth and health in countries over the course of 200 years.
I really like this video. It shows us how lucky we are to be living in this time period where life expediency has increased dramatically and less people are living in poverty.
Loved this video, his enthusiasm is contagious. Awesome work with the grafics too, thank you for this.
2:56 Mao doing Mao's things in China
+Leonardo Silva Notice how he takes time out to show the difficulty created by WW I, but brazenly ignores Mao's "Great Leap Forward". Quite interesting
The USA and many European counties blocked China's economy in the 40s and greatly staggered their economy, and sent many into poverty.
I noticed that too.
Yes and the Chinese gov. gets back so quickly.
Not quite interesting. It's meant to be a 4 minute video, not an exhaustive analysis of why data moves as it does. That's in the long version. Hans Rosling would be -- would have been -- the last person to marginalize or ignore the grand, insane, misanthropic atrocities of Mao.
multiple classes have had me watch this at school
Hans Rosling - great personality and EDUTAINER per excellence, dies at 68 - If you ever got to experience this swedish optimists work and presentations skills, you will sadly miss him like I do. If you did not know wh mr Hans Rosling was, I strongly urge you to see his RUclips films like "How to solve poverty", "World Economics is in Great shape" and other titles. His energetic and humorous approach to explaining complex topics will be missed for sure! RIP!
Sadly, this wonderful fellow passed away today.
Thanks for everything, Hans.
Fabuleux. Merci pour cette explication
I wish you were here today Hans Rosling. A sober, enthusiastic and positive voice to guide us through the Corona crisis.
That was incredible!
until you notice that the x-axis is logarithmic..
Nope. It remains incredible.
This video was really interesting and it definitely raised some eyebrows by showing us how different life is now compared to 200 years ago and how our life expectancy has rapidly increased in the pass 200 years.
I first viewed this in 2010 and found it anew as I searched for old correspondence with a colleague of mine. Still very useful to view.
Only 6 million people saw this while gangnam style has ~2,222,137,059 views. Talk about priorities in life :))
it is a natural phenomenon...... look at ur thighs,,,, they r huze ....weight in kgs..... compare this with ur endocrine glands ....they r tiny ....weight in mgs ...... but they affect almost every cell of body..... same is d case is wid our socity.....
( r u getting my point ???? :)
Dilip Vaishnav you mean...'it's the little things that count'? or something like that
I mean ..... its not the size which is allways important ...... there vl b more peoples watching cricket or football or worse senceless daily soaps .........
don't loose ur heart for numbers ;)
Beautiful.
yea im stealing this
I expected this would be a boring video we had to watch in online class, but this was very interesting.
Amazing effort, obviously it took so much time and effort to make this video and it took a lot of man hours to collect all that data and put it all together. I really like how he said that aid, trade, green technology and peace will lead us to a better world and if the countries in the top right corner would help the poorer countries then maybe someday we may all be in the top right corner.
It is fascinating how the world population, and the economy of every single countries moving up from time-time.
This video was really helpful in terms of understanding our planet and the changes it’s been through the past several years. I appreciate the effort and time that’s been put into this video.
did anyone else have to watch this for school? 😶
Excellent. I looked for a hig res version all over the place. It would really be nice to see one.
I didn't expect this video to be good, but after watching the video, it opened my eyes and i recommend people to take time out of there day to watch this.
this was really cool!
This was very interesting. I'm glad that the age that we may die at is higher then 40 years old and I'm glad to see that the poor countries are getting healthier as the years go by.
The reason why it's so low is bc of infant mortality, not bc ppl are dying at 40
Hans Rosling's presentation is superb. He has explained the growth of world population very well and I have shared it in FB account.
Anyone else is from Year 8 Geo?
Yup.
iBombBlaster BLR year 9, listening to 'uncle Hans'
haha yeah
iBombBlaster BLR year 7
lolll yes
1:54 is my favorite part idk why I feel i need to meme this
Press 4 :D
This video is very helpful. Thanks for creating and sharing.
"pretty neat, uh?"
awesome video!
A silly summary might help you in class:
They all began really poor and sick, then, the Industrial Revolution impacted a lot on wealth and health growth in Europe while Asia and Africa didn't grow at all. The First World War, Spanish flu epidemic and The Second World War had a negative impact on development in all countries. The Western countries were way healthier and richer than South American and Asian countries and Africa was stuck in civil war.. After these tragedies, the colonies gained independence and started to get healthier and Latin America and Asian started to follow up the Western countries. There is a big difference between the best and the worst countries, but every country now is following the line and trying to be rich and healthy.
I hope this helps!
P.s.: Im Brazilian, sorry any bad grammar.
THANK YOU!! :)
the best data story teller
2020 saw the world heading towards health and wealth and was like "lemme do something about that real quick"
While far too many people have died and each death is tragic, I don't think the Covid numbers would impact that graph much at all. It's mostly older people who are succumbing and even the total numbers of those who have died are miniscule when compared to global population (current fatality rate globally is very roughly that about 1 in every 5,000 people has died from Covid - I think!).
Would be interesting to see an updated version though!
What a fascinating way to visualize data. This would be do dull in a PowerPoint presentation. And a fascinating topic as well, you can easily understand how the increase in life expectancy, combined with increased wealth, have dramatically impacted population growth.
i need help with the increase in wealth in these countries
i think this video is a great representation of the future and people could benefit greatly from watching this.
my teacher is making me watch this
Me too, what class?
Emily Logue language and literature 😔🖐
@Jetson Gay BARK BARK 🙄😤
would like to see a 2016 status report
www.gapminder.org/data/ check it
Even though created over seven years ago, Hans Rosling's original moving bubble chart presentation is one of the move impactful data visualization examples ever. The message is so clear. Many software vendors have since adopted it.
Be honest your Geography teacher made you watch this
history
2020: Every country goes down - Covid19
This short video made me fall in love with data. Does anyone know if there's been another one that is more current? I'd LOVE to see it!
"in the most up do date statistics" shows 2009..... BRUV this video is old
Dat logarithmic scale of income tho
Imagine what the Western/African income discrepancy would look like with a linear x-axis. Most commenters here don't get it. Rosling has them fooled.
Mmm agreed but the non-linear axis gives a more accurate portrayal of purchasing power between countries
$400 in Ghana will buy you a lot more than $400 in USA
No big deal. Linear scale has a domain of scale from about 300 dollars to 150000 dollars - in the 1800s, this would result in lots of wasted space to fit in the data, which in turn would make it look like the countries were all kind of the same (just a bunch of boxes close to each other).
It is fairly easy to replicate this if you want to try it out:
1 ) github.com/bloomberg/bqplot
click on the image to see the python bqplot code - get the json file from github.com/bloomberg/bqplot/tree/master/examples/data_files and correct the file path in data = pd.read_json so that it matches your local copy of the nations.json file
afterwards, just change x_sc to linear like this; x_sc = LinearScale
and run all cells
2 )github.com/adamjanes/udemy-d3/blob/master/06/6.07/js/main.js
Adam Janes' Udemy course called "Mastering data visualization in D3.js" which even has a section in the scale and axes sections that shows it in linear and log scale.
@@ernestmoney7252 Fooled? You actually want a linear scale? A linear scale would place Sweden and Norway as far from eachother economically as Burundi and Indonesia (Both cases being about 12000 GDP (PPP) per capita). Do you seriously think that would be a more accurate representation of the world? That chart would truly fuel the ignorance that Burundi and Indonesia are as similar economically as Sweden and Norway. Ridiculous.
I found this video very intriguing. Hans Rosling really knows what he is talking about and it kept you interested with all of the visuals that were included. The graphs/charts helped me process what he was explaining, and it helps show how much the world has changed over the years.
I'm only watching this video because my teacher assigned me homework on this.
Baka samee.
lool same, but it is interesting.

RIP Hans, Thank you for your awesome videos!
As people become more wealthy and see capitalistic consumerism and being able to give them the things they weren't able to have before then we'll have a world of high consumption and endless demand. Can the world support 9 billion people demanding at the same rate as North Americans or Europeans? I think it's very important to also look at the problems that the world faces and I don't think the solution is the path we're on. The entire population of Earth, together, needs to recognize that a highly populated and wealthy world in a capitalist system where individuals are able to consume whatever the demand because they have enough money to buy it ignoring any kind of environmental degredation, human and animal health impacts/exploitation, and linear economies that ignore waste streams in their production life cycles is totally untenable. The solution lies in recognizing that the benefits achieved by modern wealthy and healthy nations was built on exploiting foreign nations through force and lopsided trade deals, slave labour of foreign people and their own poor, being ignorant of or not caring about environmental impacts of massive industrialization, and the myth that having the money to buy something means that you have the right to buy that thing regardless of the resources needed to produce it and ship it, the environmental impact and the impact on people and animals involved all throughout the supply chain.
The central tenet of supply and demand is the main part that's broken here. Demand is not a sufficient criteria, it infantalizes people into expecting to get whatever they want because they want it and they have the money for it. That is a system designed to break with a massive population all wanting the same things and all having the ability to buy them.
I don't think you got the point. A totally free market with no restrictions is a huge liability to environmental and human health because human greed will be allowed to outweigh any complaints against it as we are seeing now. Oil industries poisoning first nations communities and tech companies demanding cobalt causing "artisnal" miners who are people in the Congo, sometimes children, that are driven to take huge risks to "supply" the "demand" regardless to health and safety. Do you argue that any business operation has no responsibility for the effects it causes in the world for its ability to run and exist like the examples shown above?
I'm not taking away that markets have allowed people to get out of poverty, that's true. But going to the extreme side of totally free markets without restrictions or the other way with a communist economy controlled by a central government isn't going to work. It has to be somewhere in between where individual capacity is respected and encouraged but not at the cost of anyone else's ability to life safely and healthily.
A good way to see this is through the comments of a US libertarian radio host (I forget his name) who said that slavery should be legal because he should have the right to own slaves if he wants to and that's his right as an individual. But the problem is that by giving himself these rights by being an individual he has totally ignored that those same rights must be given to the people he'd be enslaving. The whole concept is senseless and breaks upon its own foundations.
+Ryan Lacroix Before I get too deep into this, first (just because I'm curious), what are you calling a linear economy? The act of acquiring resources, using those resources in some sort of product, and then dumping those products once we are done with them rather than recycling them?
You say we must recognize that "modern wealthy and healthy nations" exploited nations in order to become wealthy. Can you give clear examples of how that has happened since Capitalism's inception in the 1800s?
About people not having the right to buy a good solely because they possess the amount of money required to do so, then what is it that would give that right? Hypothetically, what is it that would give me the right to buy a pizza if it is not money? A pizza company pays a supplier for the inputs it uses to make its pizzas, so those people have been compensated, and I paid the pizza company for their pizza, so the pizza company's workers are compensated. Nobody has ever bothered me about not paying enough for a pizza because I only paid regular menu price. Of course I cannot personally be further indebted to the workers, so is it the environment that I am indebted? How do you quantify indebtedness to the environment on a per-person, per-item basis?
You say that demand is an insufficient criterion for supply and demand, yet it is difficult to determine why you think so. Demand is insufficient as a single criterion for what reason? About people being "infantilized" by capitalist systems, and I think you question the excessive use of our resources specifically (the sense of entitlement that many people in capitalist systems have does not come from capitalism in my opinion, rather it comes from socialist policies that tell people they are entitled to certain things that they are not actually entitled to in capitalist systems like jobs, healthcare, food, etc.; in capitalist systems, you are responsible for working for everything, and it is likely that it would not be so hard to do so if the market had not adapted to government subsidies in markets like college education), it is probably true that Capitalism at its current rate is unsustainable because we would eventually expend our resources, and cause the extinction of most of the other species on Earth (which would eventually harm our survivability, moral problems aside), but we should use Capitalism to draw attention to this problem and solve it (there are plenty of companies trying to in different ways; Google/Alphabet being at the forefront).
I do not that it would ever be advantageous to adopt a purely socialist or socialist-leaning economic philosophy for numerous reasons, especially that the governments that claim to adhere to those philosophies abuse the power given to them by those philosophies, which is disastrous because both socialism and communism give so much power to the government. Socialists and communists want to a government that can effectively manage the allocation of goods and services, and there will never be a government that can appropriately and consistently do so.
In any case, I and a great number of people agree with you that something has to be done about our resource usage and our environmental impact, but I think that most socialist-leaning policies do far more harm than good. People need to understand that the fact that we have great things and great economies throughout our world does not entitle anyone to anything beyond what they are able to legally purchase through their hard work, and that they must still struggle for their survival, regardless of the economic system.
RIP😢
First of all, Hans Rosling did a great job narrating throughout the video because he was able to keep the audience engaged by changing the volume and tone in the video so it wasn't all the same. He puts expression in his words and I could tell that he feels passionate about what he is talking about. Hans was very intelligent and that could be realized when he spoke about data being useless (it's nothing more but a set of numbers unless people know about and understand them) unless people were willing to listen and understand. Hans chose a way to put forward his data by making it a visual piece and it worked successfully since more than 8 million people watched this video where he uses a moving graph to explain the advancement of human life and wealth. In this video, he used the moving graph (population) throughout time to explain how countries developed and drawn back as the world went forward (in a time sense). This was his first attempt at animating data and he succeeded in making it engaging and easy to listen to. The video itself was very interesting in the paths countries took to get to where they were in 2009. It was understandable how pretty much no country was in a good spot before the industrial revolution and unsurprisingly, it was still European countries that were still slightly better off (though not by much). When the countries began moving forward, the video shows how some countries just continuously move forward while some stay stagnant and I thought that it was incredibly accurate/sad the what the data represented. The graph was stopped several times for Hans to explain that there were still disparities in the world and that showed me that he understood that no matter how much some countries were moving forward, some were still in terrible places. That was what really connected me to this video because he wasn't just someone who focused on all the good development of countries while some (mainly African and Asian) countries couldn't move forward no matter what or they were hit by terrible tragedies. Anyways, I think the video and data was very well done aside from the fact that I do disagree with Rosling with the fact that every country may be able to get up to the top right corner. I simply don't believe that since I don't think it is possible for every country to get that wealthy. It's not like the wealthy countries are suddenly give their money to less fortunate countries and some countries have little to none natural resources for them to make an economy out of. At the end of the day, I think Hans did a great job of explaining and showing us what has happened in the last 200 years or so with human lifespans and wealth in a way that was easy to understand.

Who's watching this in 2024?💀
Thank you so much
Any chance of updating to factor in the economic duress since 2009?
there is a website they did not mention the data comes from:www.gapminder.org/data/ you can find more data there and thats very interesting.
2:57. You notice the Chinese famine
It is amazing how the world has changed throughout the 200 years and amazing work from Hans Rosling's, he really shows the interest and passion for his job.
*RIP*
Rosling sneaks Governance assumptions into his video:
“with aid, trade, green technology, peace everyone can make it”
-> Getting those things = governance
-> Ignores role of governance in creating distribution
Government enables / impedes market development (rules, institutions, behavior)
Governments = produces and consumers
Thanks for showing this. Great video.
There is no Bangladesh in 1948
I love this stuff, but without the logarithmic scale one would see a *very* clear message. With it, you think it's a neat balanced picture, haha.
Anyone that I know that sees this is impressed. Great work professor Hans Rosling. May the journey beyond be grateful to you.
IDK man, I'm just here for the grade.
"Everyone can make it!"
...except Congo.
but was it taken into account that the money also isn't worth as much now as 70-200 years ago?
+LiveToby I am sure they factored that into the numbers. It's a pretty basic thing.
you would think so but you never know :P
LiveToby This guy is an academic & an expert in this field. I am VERY sure he did.
yea
+LiveToby there was less money, so of course is wasn't worth as much, but people weren't paid as much also, so it only really does damage to people who have lots of money while inflation happens. It does nothing to people who have no pay or debt until after inflation takes place.
Hehe geography work
omg i love ur videos
