Hans Rosling is famous for his presentation of statistics in easily understandable visual forms. This short talk focuses on the 8 Millennium Development Goals and takes one sample area. This is a presentation sponsored by TED (Ideas Worth Spreading).
This time his topic is child mortality, with a brilliant overview of how we collect statistics, how to get child mortality rates down (educating girls accounts for fully half of the improvements), and a lot of good news on development. Really excellent demonstration on the use of statistics and the dangers of averages.
And it is nice to see sometimes that things are working!
