    Hans Rosling

    Uploaded by

    Danny Duncan
    Hans Rosling expected global population changes by 2050 to follow a pattern of demographic transition, where developing countries experience declining birth rates as they improve economically and socially, and increase access to healthcare. This would lead to a more stable and potentially slower-growing global population overall by the middle of the century compared to historical growth rates. Specifically, he believed the population distributions in 1960, today, and 2050 could be characterized by a shrinking gap between the richest populations and those in emerging economies, with poorer populations remaining the largest but declining as countries develop.

    4. Describe how Hans Rosling expects population to change by 2050

    his general views on population changes by 2050


    revolved around the concept of demographic
    transition. He believed that as countries develop
    economically, socially, and in terms of healthcare,
    birth rates tend to decline, leading to a more
    stable and potentially slower-growing population.
