00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.279
Hey, I'm Hans Rosling!

00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:04.599
And to me, the most important report

00:00:04.599 --> 00:00:06.400
in September every year is,

00:00:06.400 --> 00:00:08.480
"Levels & Trends in Child Mortality",

00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:11.800
published by Unicef,
World Health Organization,

00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:13.400
the World Bank and the United Nations.

00:00:13.400 --> 00:00:15.439
The best statisticians in the World

00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.079
have compiled reports from all countries,

00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:19.960
and what does it tell us?

00:00:19.960 --> 00:00:24.039
The number of deaths in children
keeps falling,

00:00:24.039 --> 00:00:27.440
and the rate it's falling with
is even faster

00:00:27.440 --> 00:00:28.839
than it used to be.

00:00:28.839 --> 00:00:31.800
Good news in september, this year!

00:00:31.800 --> 00:00:33.159
What does it mean?

00:00:33.159 --> 00:00:35.520
If twenty children are born in the world

00:00:35.520 --> 00:00:37.039
(these are twenty children),

00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.439
today it's one of them

00:00:40.439 --> 00:00:44.559
that tragically dies
before their fifth birthday.

00:00:44.559 --> 00:00:47.840
We have 5% child mortality in the world.

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:50.719
That's too much, but it's
much better than before.

00:00:50.719 --> 00:00:56.000
Just in 1990, there were
twice as many children dying.
