Was Malthus Right?
Station 1: Thomas Malthus and Malthusian Theory
Station 3: Ester Boserup
Station 5: Neo-Malthusians
Station 2: Hans Rosling: ending poverty and population growth
Station 4: Malthus or Thanos?
Station 6: You Choose
Explaining population growth requires simplification, but not oversimplification. In this 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.
- What is Rosling’s claim about overpopulation?
- What data does he use to support this?
