Hans Rosling var en ung studerende i Indien, da han opdagede, at Asien havde alle muligheder for at genvinde sin plads som verdens dominerende, økonomiske magt. Ved TEDIndia viser han - vha. grafer - den globale økonomiske vækst siden 1858, og forudser den præcise dato for, hvornår Indien og Kina vil komme foran U.S.A.

Once upon a time,
0
2000
2000
Dengang,
00:19
at the age of 24,
1
4000
2000
da jeg var 24 år,
00:21
I was a student at St. John's Medical College in Bangalore.
2
6000
5000
studerede jeg på St. John's Medical College i Bangalore.
00:26
I was a guest student during one month
3
11000
3000
Jeg var gæstestuderende på et månedslangt
00:29
of a public health course.
4
14000
2000
undervisningsforløb i offentlig sundhed.
00:31
And that changed my mindset forever.
5
16000
3000
Det forandrede mit syn på tingene for altid.
00:34
The course was good, but it was not the course content
6
19000
3000
Forløbet var godt, men det var ikke indholdet i sig selv,
00:37
in itself that changed the mindset.
7
22000
2000
der ændrede mit syn på tingene.
00:39
It was the brutal realization,
8
24000
2000
Det var den brutale erkendelse
00:41
the first morning,
9
26000
2000
den første morgen,
00:43
that the Indian students were better than me.
10
28000
3000
at de indiske studerende var bedre end mig.
00:46
(Laughter)
11
31000
1000
(Latter)
00:47
You see, I was a study nerd.
12
32000
2000
Ser I, jeg var en studie-nørd.
00:49
I loved statistics from a young age.
13
34000
2000
Jeg har elsket statistik fra barnsben.
00:51
And I studied very much in Sweden.
14
36000
2000
Og jeg studerede rigtig meget i Sverige.
00:53
I used to be in the upper quarter of all courses I attended.
15
38000
4000
Jeg plejede at være i den bedste fjerdedel i alle de fag jeg tog.
00:57
But in St. John's, I was in the lower quarter.
16
42000
4000
Men på St. John's var jeg i den dårligste fjerdedel.
01:01
And the fact was that Indian students
17
46000
2000
Og virkeligheden var at de indiske studerende
01:03
studied harder than we did in Sweden.
18
48000
3000
studerede hårdere end vi gjorde i Sverige.
01:06
They read the textbook twice,
19
51000
2000
De læste tekstbogen to gange,
01:08
or three times or four times.
20
53000
2000
eller tre eller fire gange.
01:10
In Sweden we read it once and then we went partying.
21
55000
3000
I Sverige læste vi bogen én gang, og tog så til fest.
01:13
(Laugher)
22
58000
2000
(Latter)
01:15
And that, to me,
23
60000
3000
Og for mig,
01:18
that personal experience
24
63000
2000
dén personlige oplevelse,
01:20
was the first time in my life
25
65000
3000
var første gang i mit liv,
01:23
that the mindset I grew up with
26
68000
2000
at mit syn på verden, som jeg kendte det,
01:25
was changed.
27
70000
3000
blev ændret for altid.
01:28
And I realized that perhaps
28
73000
2000
Og jeg indså, at måske
01:30
the Western world will not continue
29
75000
2000
ville den vestlige verden ikke fortsætte
01:32
to dominate the world forever.
30
77000
3000
med at dominere verden i al evighed.
01:35
And I think many of you have the same sort of personal experience.
31
80000
4000
Og jeg tror mange af jer har haft en lignende personlig oplevelse.
01:39
It's that realization of someone you meet
32
84000
3000
Det er det her møde med nogen,
01:42
that really made you change your ideas about the world.
33
87000
2000
der virkelig får en til at ændre sine idéer om verden.
01:44
It's not the statistics, although I tried to make it funny.
34
89000
4000
Det er ikke statistikken, selvom jeg prøvede at gøre det sjovt.
01:48
And I will now,
35
93000
4000
Og jeg vil nu,
01:52
here, onstage,
36
97000
2000
her på scenen,
01:54
try to predict when that will happen --
37
99000
3000
prøve at forudsige hvornår det vil ske --
01:57
that Asia will regain
38
102000
5000
hvornår Asien vil genvinde
02:02
its dominant position
39
107000
2000
sin dominerende position
02:04
as the leading part of the world,
40
109000
2000
som den ledende del af verden,
02:06
as it used to be, over thousands of years.
41
111000
4000
som den har været tidligere, i tusindvis af år.
02:10
And I will do that
42
115000
2000
Og jeg vil gøre det
02:12
by trying to predict precisely
43
117000
3000
ved at forsøge at forudsige præcist
02:15
at what year
44
120000
2000
hvilket år
02:17
the average income per person
45
122000
2000
den gennemsnitlige indkomst pr. person
02:19
in India, in China, will reach that of the West.
46
124000
3000
i Indien og Kina, vil nå vestens niveau.
02:22
And I don't mean the whole economy,
47
127000
2000
Og jeg mener ikke den samlede økonomien,
02:24
because to grow an economy
48
129000
2000
fordi at skabe en økonomi
02:26
of India to the size of U.K. --
49
131000
2000
i Indien, som er på størrelse med Storbritanniens,
02:28
that's a piece of cake, with one billion people.
50
133000
3000
det er let nok, med en milliard mennesker.
02:31
But I want to see when will the average pay, the money
51
136000
4000
Derimod vil jeg se, hvornår den gennemsnitlige løn, pengene
02:35
for each person, per month,
52
140000
2000
for hver person, hver måned,
02:37
in India and China,
53
142000
2000
i Indien og Kina,
02:39
when will that have reached that of U.K. and the United States?
54
144000
4000
hvornår vil det have nået et niveau svarende til Storbritannien og USA?
02:43
But I will start with a historical background.
55
148000
3000
Jeg starter med lidt historisk baggrund.
02:46
And you can see my map if I get it up here. You know?
56
151000
3000
I kan se mit kort hvis jeg kan få det op her.
02:49
I will start at 1858.
57
154000
3000
Jeg starter i 1858.
02:52
1858 was a year of great technological
58
157000
4000
1858 var et år med stor teknologisk
02:56
advancement in the West.
59
161000
2000
fremgang i vesten.
02:58
That was the year when Queen Victoria
60
163000
3000
Det år var dronning Victoria
03:01
was able, for the first time, to communicate
61
166000
2000
for første gang i stand til at kommunikere
03:03
with President Buchanan,
62
168000
2000
med præsident Buchanan,
03:05
through the Transatlantic Telegraphic Cable.
63
170000
3000
via det transatlantiske telegrafkabel.
03:08
And they were the first to "Twitter" transatlantically.
64
173000
3000
De var de første, der "twittede" over Atlanten.
03:11
(Laughter)
65
176000
1000
(Latter)
03:12
(Applause)
66
177000
4000
(Klapsalve)
03:16
And I've been able, through this wonderful Google and Internet,
67
181000
3000
Jeg har været i stand til, ved hjælp af det vidunderlige Google og internet,
03:19
to find the text of the telegram
68
184000
2000
at finde teksten fra det telegram,
03:21
sent back from President Buchanan to Queen Victoria.
69
186000
4000
som præsident Buchanan sendte tilbage til dronning Victoria.
03:25
And it ends like this: "This telegraph
70
190000
3000
Det slutter således: "Denne telegraf
03:28
is a fantastic instrument to diffuse religion,
71
193000
2000
er et fantastisk instrument til at udsprede religion,
03:30
civilization, liberty and law throughout the world."
72
195000
4000
civilisation, frihed og lov udover hele verden."
03:34
Those are nice words. But I got sort of curious
73
199000
3000
Fine ord. Men jeg blev nysgerrig efter at vide
03:37
of what he meant with liberty, and liberty for whom.
74
202000
4000
hvad han mente med frihed, og frihed for hvem.
03:41
And we will think about that
75
206000
2000
Det vil vi tænke på,
03:43
when we look at the wider picture of the world in 1858.
76
208000
4000
når vi ser på helhedsindtrykket af verden i 1858.
03:47
Because 1858
77
212000
2000
Fordi 1858
03:49
was also watershed year
78
214000
3000
var også et vendepunkt
03:52
in the history of Asia.
79
217000
2000
i Asiens historie.
03:54
1858 was the year
80
219000
2000
1858 var året,
03:56
when the courageous uprising
81
221000
2000
hvor det modige oprør
03:58
against the foreign occupation of India
82
223000
3000
mod den fremmede besættelse af Indien
04:01
was defeated by the British forces.
83
226000
2000
blev slået ned af britiske styrker.
04:03
And India was up to 89 years more of foreign domination.
84
228000
5000
Indien havde herefter yderligere 89 år med udenlandsk dominering.
04:08
1858 in China
85
233000
2000
I Kina i 1858
04:10
was the victory in the Opium War by the British forces.
86
235000
4000
sejrede de britiske styrker i opiumskrigene.
04:14
And that meant that foreigners, as it said in the treaty,
87
239000
3000
Det betød at udlændinge, som der stod i traktaten,
04:17
were allowed to trade freely in China.
88
242000
2000
måtte handle frit i Kina.
04:19
It meant paying with opium for Chinese goods.
89
244000
4000
Det betød betaling med opium for kinesiske varer.
04:23
And 1858 in Japan
90
248000
2000
1858 i Japan,
04:25
was the year when Japan had to sign the Harris Treaty
91
250000
3000
var året hvor Japan underskrev Harristraktaten
04:28
and accept trade on favorable condition for the U.S.
92
253000
4000
og accepterede handel på gunstige betingelser for USA
04:32
And they were threatened by those black ships there,
93
257000
4000
De blev truet af de sorte skibe der,
04:36
that had been in Tokyo harbor over the last year.
94
261000
2000
der havde ligget i Tokyos havn over det forgangne år.
04:38
But, Japan, in contrast to India and China,
95
263000
4000
Men i modsætning til Indien og Kina, så beholdt Japan
04:42
maintained its national sovereignty.
96
267000
3000
sin nationale suverænitet.
04:45
And let's see how much difference that can make.
97
270000
3000
Lad os se hvor stor en forskel det kan gøre.
04:48
And I will do that by bringing these bubbles
98
273000
3000
Jeg vil gøre det ved at bringe de her bobler
04:51
back to a Gapminder graph here,
99
276000
2000
tilbage på en Gapminder graf her,
04:53
where you can see each bubble is a country.
100
278000
3000
hvor I kan se hver boble er et land.
04:56
The size of the bubble here is the population.
101
281000
3000
Størrelsen på boblen svarer til indbyggertallet.
04:59
On this axis, as I used to have income per person in comparable dollar.
102
284000
5000
På denne akse, som jeg plejer at have, indkomst pr. person i dollar.
05:04
And on that axis I have life expectancy, the health of people.
103
289000
4000
Og på den her akse har jeg forventet levealder, folkets sundhed.
05:08
And I also bring an innovation here.
104
293000
2000
Jeg medbringer også en nyskabelse her.
05:10
I have transformed the laser beam
105
295000
3000
Jeg har forvandlet laserstrålen
05:13
into an ecological, recyclable version here, in green India.
106
298000
5000
til en økologisk, bæredygtig version her, i det grønne Indien.
05:18
(Applause)
107
303000
4000
(Klapsalve)
05:22
And we will see, you know.
108
307000
3000
Så er vi klar.
05:25
Look here, 1858, India was here,
109
310000
3000
Se her, i 1858 var Indien her,
05:28
China was here, Japan was there,
110
313000
2000
Kina var her, Japan var der,
05:30
United States and United Kingdom
111
315000
2000
USA og Storbritannien
05:32
was richer over there.
112
317000
2000
var rigere derovre.
05:34
And I will start the world like this.
113
319000
3000
Og jeg vil starte verden således.
05:37
India was not always like this level.
114
322000
2000
Indien var ikke altid på dette niveau.
05:39
Actually if we go back into the historical record,
115
324000
2000
Hvis vi går tilbage i historien,
05:41
there was a time hundreds of years ago
116
326000
2000
var der et tidspunkt for flere hundrede år siden,
05:43
when the income per person in India and China
117
328000
2000
hvor indkomsten per person i Indien og Kina
05:45
was even above that of Europe.
118
330000
2000
endda var højere end i Europa.
05:47
But 1850 had already been many, many years of foreign domination,
119
332000
4000
Men i 1850 havde der allerede været mange år med udenlandsk dominans,
05:51
and India had been de-industrialized.
120
336000
3000
og Indien var blevet afindustrialiseret.
05:54
And you can see that the countries who were growing
121
339000
2000
I kan se at de lande, der voksede
05:56
their economy was United States and United Kingdom.
122
341000
2000
økonomisk, var USA og Storbritannien.
05:58
And they were also, by the end of the century, getting healthy,
123
343000
3000
I slutningen af århundredet blev de også sundere,
06:01
and Japan was starting to catch up.
124
346000
2000
og Japan begyndte at hale ind på dem.
06:03
India was trying down here.
125
348000
2000
Indien prøvede hernede.
06:05
Can you see how it starts to move there?
126
350000
2000
Kan I se, hvordan det begynder at bevæge sig der?
06:07
But really, really natural sovereignty was good for Japan.
127
352000
4000
Men virkeligt! Naturlig suverænitet var godt for Japan.
06:11
And Japan is trying to move up there.
128
356000
2000
Japan prøver at komme opad.
06:13
And it's the new century now. Health is getting better,
129
358000
2000
Nu er det et nyt århundrede. Sundheden bliver bedre,
06:15
United Kingdom, United States.
130
360000
2000
både i Storbritannien og USA.
06:17
But careful now -- we are approaching the First World War.
131
362000
3000
Vær opmærksomme nu -- vi nærmer os Første Verdenskrig.
06:20
And the First World War, you know,
132
365000
2000
Og Første Verdenskrig, som I ved,
06:22
we'll see a lot of deaths and economical problems here.
133
367000
4000
medfører mange dødsfald og økonomiske problemer her.
06:26
United Kingdom is going down.
134
371000
2000
Storbritannien går ned.
06:28
And now comes the Spanish flu also.
135
373000
2000
Og nu kommer Den Spanske Syge også.
06:30
And then after the First World War, they continue up.
136
375000
3000
Og efter Første Verdenskrig fortsætter de opad.
06:33
Still under foreign domination, and without sovereignty,
137
378000
3000
Stadig under udenlandsk dominans, og uden suverænitet,
06:36
India and China are down in the corner.
138
381000
2000
er Indien og Kina nede i hjørnet.
06:38
Not much has happened.
139
383000
2000
Der er ikke sket meget.
06:40
They have grown their population but not much more.
140
385000
2000
Indbyggertallet er steget, men ellers ikke noget.
06:42
In the 1930's now, you can see
141
387000
2000
Nu i 1930'erne, og I kan se
06:44
that Japan is going to a period of war,
142
389000
3000
at Japan går ind i en krigsperiode,
06:47
with lower life expectancy.
143
392000
2000
med kortere forventet levealder.
06:49
And the Second World War was really a terrible event,
144
394000
2000
Anden Verdenskrig var en skrækkelig begivenhed,
06:51
also economically for Japan.
145
396000
2000
også økonomisk for Japan.
06:53
But they did recover quite fast afterwards.
146
398000
2000
Men de kom ret hurtigt ovenpå igen.
06:55
And we are moving into the new world.
147
400000
2000
Og vi er på vej ind i den nye verden.
06:57
In 1947 India finally
148
402000
3000
I 1947 får Indien omsider
07:00
gained its independence.
149
405000
2000
sin uafhængighed.
07:02
And they could raise the Indian flag and become a sovereign nation,
150
407000
4000
Og de kunne hejse det indiske flag og blive en selvstændig nation,
07:06
but in very big difficulties down there.
151
411000
3000
men med store problemer dernede.
07:09
(Applause)
152

(Klapsalve)
07:12
In 1949 we saw the emergence of the modern China
153
417000
4000
I 1949 så vi fremkomsten af det moderne Kina,
07:16
in a way which surprised the world.
154
421000
2000
på en måde der overraskede verden.
07:18
And what happened?
155
423000
2000
Og hvad skete der?
07:20
What happens in the after independence?
156
425000
2000
Hvad sker der efter uafhængigheden?
07:22
You can see that the health started to improve.
157
427000
2000
I kan se at sundheden begyndte at blive bedre.
07:24
Children started to go to school.
158
429000
2000
Børn kom i skole.
07:26
Health services were provided.
159
431000
2000
Sundhedsydelser blev tilgængelige.
07:28
This is the Great Leap Forward, when China fell down.
160
433000
4000
Her er Det Store Spring Fremad, da Kina faldt ned.
07:32
It was central planning by Mao Tse Tung.
161
437000
2000
Det var centralplanlægningen af Mao Zedong.
07:34
China recovered. Then they said,
162
439000
2000
Kina rejste sig igen. Så sagde de,
07:36
"Nevermore, stupid central planning."
163
441000
2000
"aldrig mere dum, centraliseret planlægning."
07:38
But they went up here, and India was trying to follow.
164
443000
3000
Men de kom herop, og Indien forsøgte at følge med.
07:41
And they were catching up indeed.
165
446000
2000
De halede så sandelig også ind.
07:43
And both countries had the better health, but still
166
448000
2000
Begge lande lande havde bedre sundhed, men stadigvæk
07:45
a very low economy.
167
450000
2000
en meget lille økonomi.
07:47
And we came to 1978, and Mao Tse Tung died,
168
452000
3000
Og så kom vi frem til 1978, og Mao Zedong døde,
07:50
and a new guy turned up from the left.
169
455000
3000
og en ny mand dukkede op fra venstre.
07:53
And it was Deng Xiaoping coming out here.
170
458000
3000
Det var Deng Xiaoping.
07:56
And he said, "Doesn't matter
171
461000
2000
Han sagde "Pyt med,
07:58
if a cat is white or black,
172
463000
2000
om en kat er hvid eller sort,
08:00
as long as it catches mice."
173
465000
2000
så længde den kan fange mus."
08:02
Because catching mice
174
467000
2000
At fange mus
08:04
is what the two cats wanted to do.
175
469000
3000
er netop hvad de to katte ville.
08:07
And you can see the two cats being here,
176
472000
3000
I kan se de to katte her,
08:10
China and India, wanting to catch the mices over there, you know.
177
475000
3000
Kina og Indien, der vil fange musene derovre.
08:13
And they decided to go not only for health and education,
178
478000
3000
De besluttede sig for at fokusere på andet end sundhed og uddannelse,
08:16
but also starting to grow their economy.
179
481000
2000
nemlig deres økonomi.
08:18
And the market reformer was successful there.
180
483000
2000
Og reformeringen af markedet var succesfuldt.
08:20
In '92 India follows with a market reform.
181
485000
3000
I 1992 følger Indien trop med sin markedsreform.
08:23
And they go quite closely together,
182
488000
2000
De ligger ret tæt,
08:25
and you can see that the similarity with India and China,
183
490000
2000
og I kan se at lighederne mellem Indien og Kina,
08:27
in many ways, are greater than the differences with them.
184
492000
3000
på mange måder er større end forskellene.
08:30
And here they march on. And will they catch up?
185
495000
2000
Og de fortsætter. Vil de hale endnu mere ind?
08:32
This is the big question today.
186
497000
2000
Det er det store spørgsmål her idag.
08:34
There they are today.
187
499000
2000
Der er de idag.
08:36
Now what does it mean that the --
188
501000
2000
Hvad betyder det så, at --
08:38
(Applause)
189
503000
3000
(Klapsalve)
08:41
the averages there -- this is the average of China.
190
506000
3000
gennemsnittet -- dette er Kinas gennemsnit.
08:44
If I would split China, look here,
191
509000
2000
Hvis jeg deler Kina op, se her,
08:46
Shanghai has already catched up.
192
511000
3000
Shanghai er allerede nået derop.
08:49
Shanghai is already there.
193
514000
2000
Shanghai er der allerede.
08:51
And it's healthier than the United States.
194
516000
4000
Det er sundere end USA
08:55
But on the other hand, Guizhou, one of the poorest
195
520000
3000
På den anden side, har vi Guizhou, en af de fattigste
08:58
inland provinces of China, is there.
196
523000
3000
provinser i Kina, her.
09:01
And if I split Guizhou into urban and rural,
197
526000
4000
Hvis jeg deler Guizhou op i by og land,
09:05
the rural part of Guizhou goes down there.
198
530000
3000
så er landområdet i Guizhou dernede.
09:08
You see this enormous inequity in China,
199
533000
3000
I kan se disse enorme uligheder i Kina,
09:11
in the midst of fast economic growth.
200
536000
2000
samtidig med en hurtigt voksende økonomi.
09:13
And if I would also look at India,
201
538000
2000
Hvis vi nu ser på Indien,
09:15
you have another type of inequity, actually, in India.
202
540000
3000
er der en anden type af ulighed i Indien.
09:18
The geographical, macro-geographical difference is not so big.
203
543000
5000
Den overordnede geografiske forskel er ikke så stor.
09:23
Uttar Pradesh, the biggest of the states here,
204
548000
2000
Uttar Pradesh, den største af staterne her,
09:25
is poorer and has a lower health than the rest of India.
205
550000
3000
er fattigere og mindre sundt end i resten af Indien.
09:28
Kerala is flying on top there,
206
553000
3000
Kerala er flyvende heroppe,
09:31
matching United States in health,
207
556000
2000
samme sundhedstilstand som USA
09:33
but not in economy.
208
558000
2000
men ikke samme økonomi.
09:35
And here, Maharashtra, with Mumbai,
209
560000
2000
Og her, Maharashtra, med Mumbai,
09:37
is forging forward.
210
562000
2000
kaster sig fremad.
09:39
Now in India, the big inequities are within the state,
211
564000
3000
I Indien ses de store uligheder inden for en stat,
09:42
rather than between the states.
212
567000
2000
og ikke mellem staterne.
09:44
And that is not a bad thing, in itself.
213
569000
3000
Det er ikke en dårlig ting i sig selv.
09:47
If you have a lot inequity, macro-geographical inequities
214
572000
4000
Har man store uligheder, kan geografiske uligheder,
09:51
can be more difficult in the long term to deal with,
215
576000
3000
være sværere at håndtere,
09:54
than if it is in the same area where you have a growth center
216
579000
3000
end hvis det er i samme område, med et vækstcenter
09:57
relatively close to where poor people are living.
217
582000
3000
tæt ved et område hvor der bor fattige mennesker.
10:00
No, there is one more inequity. Look there, United States.
218
585000
3000
Nej, der er en ulighed mere . Se her, USA
10:03
(Laughter)
219
588000
1000
(Latter)
10:04
Oh, they broke my frame.
220
589000
2000
Hov, de ødelagde min ramme.
10:06
Washington, D.C. went out here.
221
591000
3000
Washington, D.C. gik ud der.
10:09
My friends at Gapminder wanted me to show this
222
594000
3000
Mine venner på Gapminder ville vise mig det her,
10:12
because there is a new leader in Washington
223
597000
2000
fordi der er en ny leder i Washington,
10:14
who is really concerned about the health system.
224
599000
2000
som er interesserer sig meget for sundhedssystemet.
10:16
And I can understand him, because Washington, D.C.
225
601000
3000
Og jeg forstår ham, for Washington, D.C.
10:19
is so rich over there
226
604000
3000
er så rige herovre,
10:22
but they are not as healthy as Kerala.
227
607000
2000
men de er ikke lige så sunde som Kerala.
10:24
It's quite interesting, isn't it?
228
609000
2000
Det er ret interessant, ikke?
10:26
(Applause)
229
611000
5000
(Klapsalver)
10:31
I can see a business opportunity for Kerala,
230
616000
3000
Jeg ser en forretningsmulighed for Kerala,
10:34
helping fix the health system in the United States.
231
619000
2000
der kan hjælpe med at få styr på USA's sundhed.
10:36
(Laughter)
232
621000
2000
(Latter)
10:38
(Applause)
233
623000
2000
(Klapsalve)
10:40
Now here we have the whole world. You have the legend down there.
234
625000
3000
Her har vi hele verden. Symbolforklaring hernede.
10:43
And when you see the two giant cats here, pushing forward,
235
628000
4000
Og I kan se de to store katte her, skubbe fremad.
10:47
you see that in between them
236
632000
2000
Imellem dem
10:49
and ahead of them,
237
634000
2000
og foran dem,
10:51
is the whole emerging economies of the world,
238
636000
2000
er alle verdens voksende økonomier,
10:53
which Thomas Friedman so correctly called the "flat world."
239
638000
4000
som Thomas Friedman så rigtigt kaldte for "den flade verden".
10:57
You can see that in health and education,
240
642000
2000
Med hensyn til sundhed og uddannelse
10:59
a large part of the world population is putting forward,
241
644000
3000
rykker en stor del af verden fremad,
11:02
but in Africa, and other parts,
242
647000
2000
men i Afrika og andre områder,
11:04
as in rural Guizhou in China,
243
649000
2000
som på landet i Guizhou i Kina,
11:06
there is still people with low health and very low economy.
244
651000
3000
er der stadig folk med dårligt helbred og meget lille økonomi.
11:09
We have an enormous disparity in the world.
245
654000
2000
Vi har enorme forskelle i verden.
11:11
But most of the world in the middle are pushing forwards very fast.
246
656000
5000
Men det meste af verden i midten, kommer fremad meget hurtigt.
11:16
Now, back to my projections.
247
661000
2000
Tilbage til mine forudsigelser.
11:18
When will it catch up? I have to go back to very conventional graph.
248
663000
5000
Hvornår vil Asien udligne? Jeg går tilbage til en meget konventionel graf.
11:23
I will show income per person on this axis instead,
249
668000
3000
Jeg viser indtægt per person på denne akse,
11:26
poor down here, rich up there.
250
671000
2000
fattige hernede, rige deroppe.
11:28
And then time here, from 1858
251
673000
2000
Tid er her, fra 1858
11:30
I start the world.
252
675000
2000
Jeg starter verden.
11:32
And we shall see what will happen with these countries.
253
677000
3000
Og vi får se, hvad der sker med landene.
11:35
You see, China under foreign domination
254
680000
3000
Mens Kina var under fremmed dominans,
11:38
actually lowered their income and came down to the Indian level here.
255
683000
3000
faldt indkomsten faktisk og kom ned på Indiens niveau.
11:41
Whereas U.K. and United States is getting richer and richer.
256
686000
4000
Alt imens Storbritannien og USA bliver rigere og rigere.
11:45
And after Second World War, United States is richer than U.K.
257
690000
3000
Efter Anden Verdenskrig er USA rigere end Storbritannien.
11:48
But independence is coming here.
258
693000
2000
Men så kommer uafhængigheden.
11:50
Growth is starting, economic reform.
259
695000
2000
Der kommer vækst, økonomisk forandring.
11:52
Growth is faster, and with projection from IMF
260
697000
3000
Væksten stiger, og Den Internationale Valutafond forudser,
11:55
you can see where you expect them to be in 2014.
261
700000
4000
hvor man forventer landene vil være i 2014.
11:59
Now, the question is, "When will the catch up take place?"
262
704000
5000
Spørgsmålet er "hvornår vil indhentningen ske?"
12:04
Look at, look at the United States.
263
709000
2000
Se på USA.
12:06
Can you see the bubble?
264
711000
2000
Kan I se boblen?
12:08
The bubbles, not my bubbles,
265
713000
2000
Ikke mine bobler,
12:10
but the financial bubbles.
266
715000
2000
men de finansielle bobler.
12:12
That's the dot com bubble. This is the Lehman Brothers doorstep there.
267
717000
5000
Det er it-boblen. Det her er Lehman Brothers dørtrin.
12:17
You see it came down there.
268
722000
2000
I kan se det gik ned.
12:19
And it seems this is another rock coming down there, you know.
269
724000
5000
Og en anden sten falder ned her.
12:24
So they doesn't seem to go this way, these countries.
270
729000
3000
De lader ikke til at gå denne vej, disse lande.
12:27
They seem to go in a more humble growth way, you know.
271
732000
3000
De vokser på en mere ydmyg måde.
12:30
And people interested in growth
272
735000
2000
Folk med interesse for vækst,
12:32
are turning their eyes towards Asia.
273
737000
3000
skuer mod Asien.
12:35
I can compare to Japan. This is Japan coming up.
274
740000
3000
Jeg kan sammenligne med Japan. Her kommer Japan op.
12:38
You see, Japan did it like that.
275
743000
2000
Japan gjorde det således.
12:40
We add Japan to it.
276
745000
2000
Vi tilføjer Japan.
12:42
And there is no doubt that fast catch up
277
747000
3000
Ingen tvivl om at hurtig indhentning
12:45
can take place.
278
750000
2000
kan finde sted.
12:47
Can you see here what Japan did?
279
752000
2000
Kan I se hvad Japan gjorde?
12:49
Japan did it like this, until full catch up,
280
754000
2000
Japan gjorde sådan her, indtil de havde indhentet helt,
12:51
and then they follow with the other high-income economies.
281
756000
4000
og så følger de med de andre højindkomstlandene.
12:55
But the real projections for those ones,
282
760000
3000
Men de virkelige forudsigelser for de her lande
12:58
I would like to give it like this.
283
763000
5000
vil jeg gerne gøre således.
13:03
Can be worse, can be better.
284
768000
2000
Kan blive værre, kan blive bedre.
13:05
It's always difficult to predict, especially about the future.
285
770000
4000
Det er altid vanskeligt at spå, især om fremtiden.
13:09
Now, a historian tells me it's even more difficult to predict about the past.
286
774000
3000
En historiker vil sige det er sværere at forudsige om fortiden.
13:12
(Laughter)
287
777000
2000
(Latter)
13:14
I think I'm in a difficult position here.
288
779000
3000
Jeg synes det er en svær situation her.
13:17
Inequalities in China and India
289
782000
2000
Uligheder i Kina og Indien
13:19
I consider really the big obstacle
290
784000
4000
ser jeg som de store problemer,
13:23
because to bring the entire population into growth and prosperity
291
788000
4000
fordi hvis hele nationen er i vækst,
13:27
is what will create a domestic market,
292
792000
2000
skaber det et indenrigsmarked,
13:29
what will avoid social instability,
293
794000
3000
og man undgår social ustabilitet
13:32
and which will make use of the entire capacity
294
797000
3000
og kan udnytte
13:35
of the population.
295
800000
2000
hele befolkningens kapacitet.
13:37
So, social investments in health, education and infrastructure,
296
802000
4000
Så, investeringer i sundhed, uddannelse, infrastruktur
13:41
and electricity is really what is needed in India and China.
297
806000
6000
og elektricitet, er hvad Indien og Kina virkelig har brug for.
13:47
You know the climate. We have great international experts
298
812000
3000
I kender klimaet. Gode, internationale eksperter i Indien
13:50
within India telling us that the climate is changing,
299
815000
3000
fortæller os at klimaet ændrer sig,
13:53
and actions has to be taken,
300
818000
2000
og at der er brug for handling,
13:55
otherwise China and India would be the countries
301
820000
3000
ellers vil Kina og Indien være de lande,
13:58
most to suffer from climate change.
302
823000
2000
der vil lide mest under klimaforandringerne.
14:00
And I consider India and China the best partners in the world
303
825000
3000
Jeg anser Indien og Kina for at være verdens bedste partnere
14:03
in a good global climate policy.
304
828000
3000
i en god, global klimapolitik.
14:06
But they ain't going to pay
305
831000
2000
Men de vil ikke betale for
14:08
for what others, who have more money,
306
833000
2000
hvad andre, der er rigere,
14:10
have largely created, and I can agree on that.
307
835000
3000
selv har skabt, og jeg er enig med dem.
14:13
But what I'm really worried about is war.
308
838000
3000
Men hvad der virkeligt bekymrer mig, er krig.
14:16
Will the former rich countries really accept
309
841000
2000
Vil de tidligere rige lande virkelig acceptere
14:18
a completely changed world economy,
310
843000
3000
en fuldstændig ændret verdensøkonomi,
14:21
and a shift of power away from where it has been
311
846000
3000
og et magtskifte væk fra, hvor det har været
14:24
the last 50 to 100 to 150 years,
312
849000
2000
i de sidste 50 til 150 år,
14:26
back to Asia?
313
851000
2000
og tilbage til Asien?
14:28
And will Asia be able to handle that
314
853000
2000
Vil Asien kunne håndtere sin
14:30
new position of being in charge
315
855000
2000
nye ansvarsfulde position som den mægtigste
14:32
of being the most mighty, and the governors of the world?
316
857000
3000
og verdens vogter?
14:35
So, always avoid war,
317
860000
2000
Så, undgå krig
14:37
because that always pushes human beings backward.
318
862000
3000
for krig har altid skubbet mennesker bagud.
14:40
Now if these inequalities, climate and war can be avoided,
319
865000
4000
Hvis disse uligheder, klima og krig kan undgåes
14:44
get ready for a world in equity,
320
869000
3000
så vær klar til en ligeværdig verden.
14:47
because this is what seems to be happening.
321
872000
3000
Fordi det er hvad der ser ud til at være ved at ske.
14:50
And that vision that I got as a young student,
322
875000
2000
Og den oplevelse jeg fik som ung studerende,
14:52
1972, that Indians can be much better than Swedes,
323
877000
6000
i 1972, at indere kan være meget bedre end svenskere,
14:58
is just about to happen.
324
883000
2000
er lige ved at ske
15:00
And it will happen precisely
325
885000
3000
Og det vil ske præcist
15:03
the year 2048
326
888000
4000
i året 2048,
15:07
in the later part of the summer, in July,
327
892000
3000
i sensommeren, i juli måned,
15:10
more precisely, the 27th of July.
328
895000
3000
nærmere bestemt den 27. juli.
15:13

Den 27. juli 2048
15:25

15:27

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Hans Rosling - Global health expert; data visionaryIn Hans Rosling’s hands, data sings. Global trends in health and economics come to vivid life. And the big picture of global development—with some surprisingly good news—snaps into sharp focus.
Why you should listen
Even the most worldly and well-traveled among us have had their perspectives shifted by Hans Rosling. A professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, his work focused on dispelling common myths about the so-called developing world, which (as he pointed out) is no longer worlds away from the West. In fact, most of the Third World is on the same trajectory toward health and prosperity, and many countries are moving twice as fast as the west did.
What set Rosling apart wasn't just his apt observations of broad social and economic trends, but the stunning way he presented them. Guaranteed: You've never seen data presented like this. A presentation that tracks global health and poverty trends should be, in a word: boring. But in Rosling's hands, data sings. Trends come to life. And the big picture — usually hazy at best — snaps into sharp focus.
Rosling's presentations were grounded in solid statistics (often drawn from United Nations and World Bank data), illustrated by the visualization software he developed. The animations transform development statistics into moving bubbles and flowing curves that make global trends clear, intuitive and even playful. During his legendary presentations, Rosling took this one step farther, narrating the animations with a sportscaster's flair.
Rosling developed the breakthrough software behind his visualizations through his nonprofit Gapminder, founded with his son and daughter-in-law. The free software — which can be loaded with any data — was purchased by Google in March 2007. (Rosling met the Google founders at TED.)
Rosling began his wide-ranging career as a physician, spending many years in rural Africa tracking a rare paralytic disease (which he named konzo) and discovering its cause: hunger and badly processed cassava. He co-founded Médecins sans Frontièrs (Doctors without Borders) Sweden, wrote a textbook on global health, and as a professor at the Karolinska Institut in Stockholm initiated key international research collaborations. He's also personally argued with many heads of state, including Fidel Castro.
Hans Rosling passed away in February 2017. He is greatly missed.
