汉斯·罗斯林: 宗教与新生儿

汉斯·罗斯林提出了一个问题：信仰某种的宗教的人会比信仰另外一种宗教的人出生率更高吗？这个问题又会对全球人口增长有什么样的影响呢？在卡塔尔多哈的TEDx峰会演讲中，他用图表的形式描绘了不同时间，不同宗教的人口出生率的数据。汉斯用他招牌式的幽默和犀利的分析，在世界人口出生率这个问题上得到了惊人的结论。

Fertility rates around the world have dropped sharply, reaching an average of about two children per woman, regardless of the dominant religion. Even countries with widely different incomes and faiths, like Bangladesh and Qatar, now share similar birth rates. This global change is driven by factors such as child survival, education for women, and access to family planning. Despite common beliefs, religion plays a minor role compared to these social and economic forces.
