Population growth explained with IKEA boxes

Gapminder for a fact-based world view

Hans Rosling is one of the most entertaining data loving figure I have coome across so far.
His non profit organisation Gapminder aims to replace devastating myths with a fact-based world view.
They make data easy to understand and are dedicated to innovate and spread new methods to make global development understandable, free of charge, without advertising.

The video above is one of the many video that can be found on their website: http://www.gapminder.org/

"Explaining population growth requires simplification, but not oversimplification.
In this TED video, Hans Rosling explains why ending poverty - over the coming decades - is crucial to stop population growth. Only by raising the living standards of the poorest, in an environmentally-friendly way, will population growth stop at 9 billion people in 2050."
