'How To End Poverty in 15 years' Hans Rosling - BBC News

bloody video ends just when the most important bit is about to be discussed.

[@pablo.2542]

Exactly what i was gonna type

[@pablo.2542]

It's pissing off isn't it

[@srj6963]

Yes, because there is no solution proposed. Extreme poverty may cease to exist, but poverty will always be around. This video does not provide any useful solutions to the global population problem.

[@sangramkale3243]

What did you do to break the cycle of poverty?

[@PeteTheFatDog]

I like Hans, I like all his presentations... But I can't get past that screen. I need to know about it. How much are they? How does it work? When can plebians like myself get one? Where is the place on his graph I have to reach to attain one?

[@philipjamieson8198]

So what is the difference between extreme poverty and poverty in general? Is there a difference? I only ask cause obviously Americans have a different perspective of poverty than someone in China. I'm just curious if it could be arratacated completely. If so do we have create a different American dream sort of mindset. I'm just very interested in how this all works.

[@voldibayizitunda2178]

1.Poverty is a cycle of a lack of necessity added with misery. 2.Extreme poverty is poverty taken to extreme (This becomes harder to solve- You can just use Google) But to me they are both the same because in the end the person is in a cycle of lacks and misery. Note : It is possible to decrease or possibly end poverty but that depends on the ones at the top(The world's most powerful people and probably high ranked billionaires) and the change people are willing to do to achieve this goal.

[@saitenotoshuitsnaini]

extreme poverty in times of crisis would always be in increase. so then the question changed from "how to prevent a crisis while it actually be an unevitability" to "how to reduce the impact and the time of crisis". but we can see now that big crisis is incoming and the little ones are sprouting a lot more often as we are about to enjoy the show.

Hmm... but 85% of 1800's population is 850 million people in poverty. Whereas 12% of todays 7.3 billion population is 876 million : /

[@briandiehl9257]

But the progress is exaggerating. I saw this comment when it was first posted, and thought "does that mean poverty will never end" so I can back to see what has happened in the past 3 years. and according to world bank it is now 736 million, which is quite a lot less

[@phaidonkyriacou9177]

Full video in: www.gapminder.org/videos/dont-panic-end-poverty/ Amazing talk from an amazing guy!

[@nthperson]

What Mr. Rosling fails to see is that even as we have become very efficient in the production of goods, the factors affecting the distribution of income and wealth have not changed. The result is that today every society (including the Chinese) is dominated by rentier interests. If you do not believe this to be true, examine the statistics published by former World Bank economist Joseph Stiglitz.

[@OTOss-fi2el]

World population in 1800 was approximately 1 billion people with 85% of them and poverty that's about 850 million people world population in 1990 is around 5.3 billion with 35% in poverty that's an extra BILLION people... A smaller percentage of the world population in poverty but yet a much larger number of total people? 1800. 1,000,000,000 x .85 = 850,000,000 1990. 5,300,000,000 x .35 = 1,855,000,000 Conclusion... the total percentage of the population of the world has indeed dropped significantly. But with our increased numbers we've actually added 1 billion people to the poverty level!?

[@kaiserhdbooi9403]

So is birth control the way?

[@phillips78]

If the population is rising the numbers in poverty can still be larger than before even if the % is smaller.

[@beyondtheinfinite3263]

But it will mean there are much more people not in the extreme poverty.

[@esdeath89]

​@@beyondtheinfinite3263 If with current technology the population level was the same as 200 years ago, there would be no poverty. It’s logical that the fewer people there are, the easier it is to provide them with food.

[@ILLGOOD]

People cause others to fall into poverty. If i structured a team of gate keepers and we tried our best to sift who makes it. That would cause a slow wave of financial circumstances eventually. What people suffer from is other people, it's not a natural thing to be without when it's not being controlled. People created markets and what have you, that requires us to have money to get it. And if money is not what you have...you suffer. And if all we're offered is poor wages and horrible co-workers, maintaining becomes damn near impossible.

[@sushantsabnis4865]

This is encouraging, but it's not the be-all and end-all of poverty. It will raise the standards, yet will set new challenges with it. I think it does express an important lesson though: that as long as we're doing the right thing in the right direction, we will get by over time and reach the next destination - just try not to derail our progress too much along the way. I think this works for now, but there is a strong part of me that believes that the more human consciousnesses that we tap, the faster will be our ascent. Now the question is: ascent to what? And why? Those questions have lost their relevance for me ever since taking the BLUE pill. 🤔

[@mamanconstruction9374]

How we can end it

[@LardGreystoke]

According to his own numbers world poverty has not 'decreased' in absolute numbers. In 1800 total population was about 1 billion of which 850,000,000 were in extreme poverty. In 2015 total population was 7.4 billion of which 12%, or 880,000,000, were in extreme poverty.

[@f8talfury]

Exactly

[@JimBCameron]

Bit of a nebulous term, ' extreme poverty' would be interesting to see how it is defined? :S

[@JimBCameron]

+Zoya The Zebra So how does that work historically & with geographical costs & culture. Seems a bit abstract to me tbh. (I'm not coming at this with some agenda, just interested at how this was arrived at) :)

[@theskv21]

+Jimbo Jones It is defined by the type of dwelling you have, the amount of income you earn, your access to healthcare, among other things. It is actually defined in less nebulous terms.

[@JimBCameron]

+Eamon Bohan Fair enough, but in relation to global population would make no sense surely? Is it purely a financial figure, abstracted from all other factors?

poverty is back with a vengeance

[@nochipsonlycrisps8639]

How would we do that though???? So many societies don't even have a social net, be it individual or family. China can't seem to pivot away from manufacturing. India is pivoting into manufacturing but already has global elite due to the sheer amount of inequality there. Africa is rife with ethnic conflicts and the so called "tiger economies" of Africa barring Botswana have not chalked up to much. Singapore has become the globes middle man and its middle manness has trickled into malaysia but other SEA nations have been hollowed out into tourist destinations, Thailand of which is the best example of whats happening. Myanmar has been relegated into being a chinese-indian vassal state and to say the same about Nepal would not be a stretch. Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan cant seem to adress their own local turmoils enough to be a stable economic ground for anything. This video has aged horribly.

SO what standards are used as extreme poverty? what is the bench mark. NO shoes? well under weight , very short life?. The stats shown clearly date from Waterloo era, so one has to assume that is the benchmark?. If so why ? it is 2019 and the rich are much richer than in waterloo era?. maybe we need to see the other scale as a balance the rich side , then and only then you will see a balance of what is purported here!.

The end of poverty? Halving hunger failed: At the 1996 World Food Summit in Rome, Italy, leaders from 186 countries pledged to reduce the number of hungry people in the world by half no later than the year 2015 and the hunger should be conquered to 2025. The destination already seems missed today.

[@kindminda1]

[@LancerFFS]

This is simply relevant to human technology and our ability to mass produce clothing, food etc. The extreme poverty has been defeated by our abundance however true poverty and wealth disparity are greater than they have ever been. This is a solid piece of BBC propaganda. This would have us believe that our failed economy, and homunculous money-grabbing politicians, bankers and CEOs are doing nothing wrong.

[@narz7573]

they say extreme poverty if your idea of wealth is cities , cars , material , money and long 9-5 or 8-12 hour jobs 7 or 6 days a week and the price of stuff keeps going up due to inflation and nothing's organic anymore so it has to be mass produced then yh.

[@Bushflare]

+Narhang Ingnam Shit, son, at least it's not drinking poo-water from a hole in the ground, or being worked to death in slave camps. Room for improvement, sure, but hell... it's a start.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

First "organic" is just a marketing scam. It means nothing. By definition, ALL molecules with carbon are organic. Secondly, there is nothing wrong with mass produced food. We would NEVER be able to feed 7 billion people with primitive farming methods only. If you want to attack things, attack the MEAT industry for needlessly mass breeding & torturing & murdering animals by the billions and humans breeding & overpopulating and WORTHLESS BRAIN-DESTROYING shit like RELIGION, and money wasted on unnecessary sports stadiums, and Wall Street.

Due to the failure of our economic system based upon keysianism, we will experience a new financial crisis and economic depression ala 1930-style. Check upon the Weimarrepublic which roamed in Germany until 1923 till hyperinflation striked. Look at USA today, almost 1/7 of the population lives on so called food stamps (50 million) and in Europe there is around 30 million people who dont have work and a migrant crisis which will only get bigger. Do you really think this will end well when the next financial crisis hits the market like it did in 2008?

Income as a measure needs to be corrected for inflation bcs money is worth less

[@TheJoska1]

Very simple fix, just nationalize the stealing wealth of " insane billionaires" and distribute among the general population in need.

[@carlwebster3337]

Far too simplistic. Take a billionaire's billion dollars. Give it to the world's population. Each inhabitant get's one seventh of a dollar. How long does that last them? Less than one meal. And meanwhile, you have destroyed everything in jobs and production and creation of even more money that that billion dollars represented. Sure, someone having a billion dollars may be horrendous, but would you rather go back to 1800 and have 80% of the population living in poverty?

[@cherries4life387]

When was this video/Ted talk, because clearly we haven't eradicated poverty in a generation, and don't look anywhere close to achieving this anytime soon.

[@josephpublico2337]

He said it whilst talking about the first graphic : 2015. Obama isn't dead yet, the Pope is as close to death as popes usually are... and you're not dead yet either, so that one generation still has a little time to go!

[@mewtew8006]

Why is important that the whole world have the same living standard as the West? Wealth is relatively and the poor countries wouldn’t be poor if we didn’t compare them to us

[@esdeath89]

I believe that this is not a poor world, but Western countries consume too much.

[@lilacosmanthus]

Meh. All I can tell from this is: Asia, stop having offsprings!!!!!! (S and SW Asia, I'm looking at you)

[@Gabeleeen]

+Indigo Osmanthus You know that the average offspring per couple is around 2.4 (in the world) & most countries in Asia doesn't have higher than this. Hans Rosling does have a Ted Talks about this.

[@lilacosmanthus]

Gabeleeen Still too high. With a global population of 7.3 billion, the rate needs to be no higher 1.9 until our population goes back to 5 billion, and then it can remain 2.0. Pakistan's is 3.3, India's is 2.5 and is plateauing. NOT GOOD ENOUGH.

[@Gabeleeen]

Indigo Osmanthus Why do it need to go back to 5billion?

[@lilacosmanthus]

Gabeleeen because with more and more people living up to the living standards of Europeans and Americans, and with limited natural resources, we'll need 3 or 4 earths to sustain our needs. In fact, 4 billion is probably optimal (humans reached this number as recently as 1974).

[@aerodynamic6560]

+Indigo Osmanthus You should look up more of Hans' presentations, he will convince you otherwise I am sure.

[@SimplyGimpy]

Factually correct, but unfortunatly misleading. In the sense that the world's population in that time has also increased enormously. So that means that, even as the preportion of poverty has gone down, the raw amount of needless human suffering, compared to 50 years go, is still staggering.

[@theultimatereductionist7592]

Exactly. Well said.

[@Donnah1979]

You haven't understood the video. Try again.

[@gariyasigarg463]

This is delusional. Although poverty rates have come down, the number of people living in extreme poverty has actually risen, as you can see the size of the triangles increase. Moreover, this not even takes into account the inflation rate and hence the reduced purchasing power, which changes the definition of the parameters of extreme poverty, showing that the progress to curtail poverty is not that great after all! A lot needs to be done, we are moving towards more poverty!!

[@briandiehl9257]

Actually it does take into account inflation. The numbers of people in poverty hasn't gone up either

[@doittoit4116]

what fantasy world is this guy in? the top one percent has 80% of the world's income or money. in fact more people from the middle class have become poor

[@nahiag]

+James Valderaz Check the diagrams to see the "staggering" shift in income distribution. www.aei.org/publication/the-imaginary-hobgoblin-of-rising-income-inequality-2/

[@orendo]

+James Valderaz You seem to have a misconception. There's no limit to the wealth that can be created. It's not a fixed pie you share with others. You can make the pie bigger. The fact that 1% hold 80% of the world's "income" (a debatable piece of information) doesn't mean anything. Not to mention that entrepreneurs, who are some of the richest people, move the economy and provide work to millions of people.

[@Bushflare]

+Oren Douek I've no issues with most of your comment, but that last sentence is another misconception, or at least is incredibly misleading. Whilst they do move the economy, many of them, especially the richest ones, do everything in and beyond their power to make it so they move the economy as little as possible. If we give them credit for the effects of their success, then we must also lump scorn on them for the effects of their criminal greed. The way they purchase politicians, keep their wages (as well as the minimum wage) low, bend the law with tax loopholes, break and re-shape the tax-law with government bribes... these are a group of people that got to where they are today through doing everything they can to 'not' move the economy. To siphon as much wealth out of circulation as is physically possible. The rise of China has only been possible because these entrepreneurs started paying for Chinese labour, which is very bad for the local economy as it removes jobs, often in far larger an amount than are replaced, which has led to less manufacturing-based nations in the western world suffering from having more people in the country than jobs to put them to work in. The movement of the economy is, to many of these people, an unfortunate side-effect of their lack of power, and their riches are only possible because of all of the corners they cut to save pennies. To the entrepreneurs that understand and appreciate and contribute to healthy economies, I offer no ends of thanks, because their jobs are as much a public service as that of the police force, but to the ones that abuse our reliance on them... there are no depths to the hatred I have for them.

[@ekaterinavalinakova2643]

+James Valderaz We are talking about EXTREME poverty, not mild poverty, not relative poverty, not poorness, and not the middle class. I agree that the income inequality is a significant issue in the US, and elsewhere, but the fact is that % of people living in extreme poverty as in living under conditions of 1.25$ by 2005 dollars inflation adjusted has declined is real, and it's good news. As far as absolute numbers living in extreme poverty. Today, between 800-900 million live in extreme poverty, but back in 1990, that number was close to 2 billion.

[@JockeMr]

I agree with you, we in the lower class have a hard time affording an iphone right ://// and I need a new computer!!!

You imbecile, the middle class you're talking about is in no consideration poor.

[@wozzaladers3244]

lol capitalism works my arse, this is extreme poverty and the change is down to socialist ideas forcing the wealth to the poorest. If it was left to Capitalism only the few would have benefited. The rise in wealth overall is down to science and industry, capitalism actually hinders this. People with new ideas always have to find money to support this, in a socialist system the idea only needs support from the people and the benefits reach all. To suggest that everybody is in the middle lol. how big is that middle? It goes from scrapping by on a minimum wage to billionaires, its the disparity in wealth that is the main issue. Why do people need to "earn" billions while others work hard long hours for a pittance of a wage. This world is moving in the right direction but it isn't down to capitalism and never will be.
