September 12, 2007 Gapcast #1 - Health, Money & Sex in Sweden
In this first GapCast, Professor Hans Rosling shows how economic growth, public health and sexual rights have changed in Sweden during 300 years. In only 6 minutes he shows life expectancy and GDP per capita of Sweden from 1709 to 2004. 300 years of Swedish progress covers today´s disparity from Sierra Leone to Japan. Wheras education of midwives started in 1709 it was only in the 1970íes that family planning was included in their training. Sexual rights came late in Sweden compared to progress in health and wealth.
