With Hans Rosling.

Have you heard about Miracle that has happened in Bangladesh over the last 30 years? No? Bangladesh has the highest population density among the worlds big countries, today, Bangladesh has more people than Russia. But the area is smaller than Florida.

So what is the Miracle? In 1970 an average women in Bangladesh gave birth to 7 children, and on of four of them died before the age of five. But after independence from Pakistan in 1971 things has improved. See Hans Roslings GapCast to see how much.

  • Thumbs up for mac os!!!

  • @muchavvir Hans Rosling has very powerful Swedish accent, and I think it's ahs become an essential part of his personality. I am probably biased (look at my name) but I feel theese gapcasts just wouldn't be the same without it ;)

  • @ImaginedWriter you must be white eh

  • well...there are way more miracles happening here..

  • @hxasmirl when you consider GDP that is. But this days population is money and someday ours will get educated.

  • Bangladesh needs to reduce its population by 1/4. To about 38 Million people maximum. The country is on a flood plain, with not enough resources to sustain the current 150 Million people.

    Bangladeshi's need to realise the country will drown if this is not done. Do not expect Bangladesh to do anything great if it can't even feed itself. Think small steps that will take you great distances.

    There needs to be more education and mechanisation of Bangladeshi society as well as increased Atheism.

  • The large population of bangladesh is a weakness not a strength unfortunately

  • I am not trying to offend anyone. আমি ভাই খাটি বাঙ্গালী। these are just my two cents:

    1. Mr. Hans Rosling. What's with the USSR secret agent accent? I'm sure nobody wants to hear about some miracle in that accent no matter how miraculously miracle it may be. ZZZzz..

    2. I found the graph presentation very exaggerating. I mean come on! Come on! Come on! Do I even need to explain my point here?

    3. The whole thing sounded like the they didn't expect this much from us - downright insulting.

  • bt wat abt the recent one?

    i can see that this clip has been uploaded on 2007, so this guy must have done this research before that! :/

  • making us proud.
