- 3 billion people in 1960- 7 billion people in 2014
- the map is divided into Abrahamic religion and Eastern religion
- India and China- Eastern religion
- Southern Europe and Indonesia- Islam
- Europe, America, Africa, and Asia - Christianity
- number of babies per woman is decreasing
- women with a lot of babies usually have a low income
- countries with the highest mortality rate have the highest population growth
- the babies per woman decrease when:
- 1. children survive
- 2. many children are not needed for work
- 3. women get education and join the labor force
- 4. family planning is accessible
- the average number of children per woman in Columbia is 2.4 per woman
- studies show that religion has very little to do with the number of babies per woman
I think that the chart was very interesting, but a little confusing. There were a lot of dots moving all at once, and I couldn't really understand the guy so I was having a hard time understanding what was going on. I think that Christianity had the most dots and that didn't surprise me. After watching the NOVA video, I realized that poorer woman do tend to have more children, and that was showed in this chart.
I think the world that I will soon inherit is kind of scary but also good. The video shows that there will be around 10 billion people by 2100. I think that is an overwhelming number of people, but who knows, maybe since there are more people, more jobs will open up and there will be a better economy. But more people could also mean that more people are out of work, the economy is bad, and there will be more families living on the streets which is not a good thing. I guess I will just have to wait and see how this world changes.
The quiz on sporcle is not working for me, it keeps freezing then it exits out of it.
