But I think it’s very important to have all this information. We need really to see it. 我认为这些信息很重要。大家很有必要看到这些。 And instead of looking at this, I would like to end up by showing the Internet users per 1,000. 另外，我最后要给大家展示每千人中的网民数量。 In this software, we access about 500 variables from all the countries quite easily....
I’m a storyteller. And I would like to tell you a few personal stories about what I like to call “the danger of the single story.” 我是个说书之人。在这里，我想和大家分享一些我本人的故事，一些关于所谓的“单一故事的危险性”的经历。 I grew up on a university campus in eastern Nigeria. 我成长在尼日利亚东部的一所大学校园里。 My mother says that I star...
Data is often better than you think. Many people say data is bad. 大家总说数据不准确，数据其实比我们想象的好很多。 There is an uncertainty margin, but we can see the difference here: Cambodia, Singapore. 数据是有误差，但我们看一下柬埔寨和新加坡的差距。 The differences are much bigger than the weakness of the data. 这一差距肯定远大于数据的误差。 East Europe...
Some countries accept that their databases can go out on the world, 少数联合国机构和几个国家已经开放了数据库， but what we really need is, of course, a search function. 但我们最需要的是数据搜索引擎。 A search function where we can copy the data up to a searchable format and get it out in the world. 依靠搜索引擎，我们先把原始数据复制成可搜索的格式，再把数据发...
We heard it in other forms. And who are these? Where are the different countries? 这是个老问题了。中间这些人是谁？他们在哪些国家？ I can show you Africa. This is Africa. 10% the world population, most in poverty. 先看非洲。非洲占世界人口的十分之一，多数是穷人。 This is OECD. The rich country. The country club of the U.N. 这个代表富裕的经合组织成员国，联合国俱...
Let me make a comparison directly between the United States of America and Vietnam. 现在我们对比一下美国和越南。 1964. America had small families and long life; Vietnam had large families and short lives. 1964年的美国家庭小寿命长，越南的家庭大而寿命短。 And this is what happens: the data during the war indicate that even with all the death, there was an improvem...
Because the chimpanzee would score half right if I gave them two bananas with Sri Lanka and Turkey. 因为黑猩猩能得一半的分数，如果我给它们两个分别标着斯里兰卡和土耳其的香蕉， They would be right half of the cases. But the students are not there. 它们会选对一半，但这些优等生们却做不到。 The problem for me was not ignorance; it was preconceived ideas. 这不是由...
And even more, policy makers and the corporate sectors would like to see how the world is changing. 此外，政策制定者，各企业部门，都会想知道世界的变化。 Now, why doesn’t this take place? Why are we not using the data we have? 但为什么大家仍然不知道（世界的变化）？为什么我们无法使用已知的数据呢？ We have data in the United Nations, in the national statistic...
About 10 years ago, I took on the task to teach global development to Swedish undergraduate students. 大约在十年前，我担当起给瑞典大学生讲授全球发展的任务。 That was after having spent about 20 years together with African institutions studying hunger in Africa, 之前的20年，我一直在非洲研究饥饿问题， so I was sort of expected to know a little about the world. ...
But let me split sub-Saharan Africa. 下面把撒哈拉以南非洲地区分解成各个国家。 Health is there and better health is up there. 分布靠上边的国家拥有更高的健康水平。 I can go here and I can split sub-Saharan Africa into its countries. 撒哈拉以南的非洲各国是如此分布的。 And when it burst, the size of its country bubble is the size of the population. 小球的尺...
And if we move back again, here, and we put on trails on them, like this, 我们再回到过去，给每个球画出运动的轨迹， you can see again that the speed of development is very, very different, 可以看到，发展速度的差距非常大， and the countries are moving more or less in the same rate as money and health, 虽然各国的经济和健康发展的轨迹大同小异， but it seems you...
So this is what I could display here. 那么一起来看看。 I put fertility rate here: number of children per woman: one, two, three, four, up to about eight children per woman. X轴是生育率，每个妇女的育儿数，从每人1，2，3，4胎到8胎。 We have very good data since 1962 — 1960 about — on the size of families in all countries. The error margin is narrow. ...
