www.ted.com Hans Rosling had a question: Do some religions have a higher birth rate than others -- and how does this affect global population growth? Speaking at the TEDxSummit in Doha, Qatar, he graphs data over time and across religions. With his trademark humor and sharp insight, Hans reaches a surprising conclusion on world fertility rates.

Japan has always been an exception, but in truth, we don’t really follow any religion. We just say we are Buddhists because we follow the buddhist funeral rituals. But we easily move to Christianity during Christmas events and marriage. Most of us don’t know what religion is. Also to add, we might be the only country that wants more children, not less. But we will never see this increase, because conditions are so bad for women. Low profit, few nursing facilities available, and discrimination that still lingers for women who try to both work and have babies in their lives.

@@adrianroed2178 Pretty much all western countries are in a similar boat. The particular distinction with Japan is their very rigid opposition to immigration in contrast to a country like the U.S. that gets a lot of immigrant labor to fill in the less than 2 per woman child rate of the native born. And then it leads to freakouts by racists who think they're somehow getting replaced.

That women being educated, & having access to birth control choices, has been substantively proven, repeatedly, over time. Quality of life improves. Take away choice, corrupt or make education less or inaccessible, and all the worst outcomes return.
@DT-52
@DT-52 4 жыл бұрын
Unless you can give a universal definition of "quality of life," that is a most unsupportable assertion in context of this video. E.g., if a woman is "happy" bearing/raising 10 children while eschewing higher education, does she not enjoy a commensurate high QOL? Conversely, if a woman has a high-paying executive position, all the trappings that go with it and no children, but is miserable, does she not have a commensurate low QOL? Or do you believe there is no correlation between the poor state of modern families and degradation of our modern, worldwide, societies?

If you make people richer no matter how much wont they use more carbon energy? And then they will have better medical care and live longer also producing more carbon? And even in rich countries are there not people on welfare that have significantly more children and those people are more wealthy on welfare than some of the people in Bangladesh and they are to lazy to work and just have more kids for more money. Do we just give them more money and say you can have it only if you stop having kids? In rich countries the poorer have 4 kids the rich have one or 2. Do we make everyone rich.? And the rich use 5 times more carbon than the poor per person so its like we have 5 poor kids to each rich kid.

Hans Tun Risking builds in a whole load of assumptions into his model. There are other demographers with other less politically correct points of view. One of Roslings assumptions for example is that the excess population in Africa and the Middle East will do no damage to the structure of western societies when their excess population moves. He is also very optimistic about our ability to feed an extra billion per decade. He ignore the massive ecological damage that human over population is doing to the other creatures that live on this planet. Rosling always conflated immigrants and refugees. He was very in favour of Sweden taking the huge number of immigrants it has taken over the last few years - and look at the disaster that is proving to be for Swedish society.

Love this guy for showing, with empirical data and his shifting graph, a clear and salient point. The only thing I think he doesn't acknowledge, is that unlike what religion frequently pretends, their rules are not an absolute unchangable truth but that rather religion changes with the times, much like other ideas do. Religion IS a factor, not as an absolute block, but as a deterrent in how quickly these factors are allowed to change. Looking at the four factors listed, children survival rate is a matter of biology and healthcare, children needed for work is a factor of economics, neither of which are probably heavily influenced by religion (especially in countries where secular notions of healthcare can legally supersede extreme religious beliefs). Factors 3 and 4 however, the ability of women to get an education and join the workforce, as well as family planning, IS influenced by religion. A key factor of religion is that it relies on natural law, which are essential traits of a natural order independent of an individuals actual capability or choice. It would be equally naive to say that religious rules have not been historical facors in this matter (determining, for example, the role of women in societies), as it would be to say there hasn't been any improvement in these areas amongst religious ideas. Hans Rosling shows us a great graph of the past 50-60 years, but during this period we've seen amazing strides in women's rights (both in education and in family planning) worldwide that we haven't seen in centuries before these dates. What would happen to his graphs if it took into account not the past 50 years, but the past 500? To make a horrible pun about his graphs, religion clearly isn't the sole factor but religion helps determine how fast these balls drop.

I agree that religions change over time but that’s because societies have shaped religion in their image. When societal norms change, religion changes. When I was in India many years ago, most people really looked down on me (middle class woman) for working after I had a child. Especially so because my husband had a good job. Nowadays several middle class women work after having a child and it’s not that much of a novelty in any class. That was just society changing and not dictated by my religion (which as it happens has no opinion on professional women)

@@dasikakn Social norms are never a homogenous group, they're heterogenous with religion(s) being one or more factors, every factor vying for as much control as they can. Society doesn't change without its components changing, the question is which one(s) and what exactly is changing. Sometimes it's religion. Sometimes religion strenuously tries to resist, oppose and overcome the change. It is the different components of society that change each other, with what we call society simply being an overarching (and fairly local) concept. Many societies have changed, and many societies have become more secular in the process, seperating church and state. India has been a secular state since 1976, but despite such a significant stride it currently has a "cultural nationalistic" party in power whose definition of "Indian culture" strongly favours Hinduism. On the other hand, the caste system still exists in India, which means a different poilitical factor pulling on society through its influence. Now I am no expert on India and its (caste) politics and religion so I don't know what their exact stance on women is but going by your story, the position of women wasn't all that different from the position of women in developed western nations during the first half of last century. So if their improved position stands, that's great, and we can only hope that lasts. It should be noted that even in developed western European countries and the USA there are plenty groups who call upon religion or some form of natural law to determine the position of women. I only need to drive for about an hour to hit a community where women are still "encouraged" to be housewives and raise kids. These ideas are obviously not new, they're old, and if these people had their way, that'd be the norm again. If these countries had a strong conservative group rise to power similar to the one in India, it'd risk obliterating women's rights. Sadly we don't always move forwards.

As income/and/or education increase, women have fewer children and this doesn't change much with religious affiliation. Rosling points out birth rates don't vary much by religion. I would add that more women entered the workforce in the US over the last 30 years because the value of the dollar has decreased and wages have been flat compared to inflation.

I love the charts and animations! There's so much data easily accessible there. I like the idea of considering the connection between religion and number of babies. His approach of taking the average religion of a country is good for general statistics, I think. I would be interested to see a further study that discusses degree of adherence to a religion in connection with number of babies. In a country that is "on average" a certain religion, I'd imagine that most in that country aren't super devout/only adhere to that religion nominally (at least from what I've seen). Measuring "devout-ness" is certainly less objective than population statistics, but I think there are ways you could do it.

Maybe some of that went over my head, because people clapped a lot and I didn't understand why for most of it. Loved his charts. Interesting that a talk titled "Religion and babies" concluded that there is no correlation between religion and how many babies are had per woman. It is as if he was trying to rope in religious people like myself to talk about population growth. But he wasn't threatening about it. And I like that he concluded that we must prepare for a certain height of population, not necessarily decrease the number of children we are having.
