New video: Shanghai, New York and Mumbai
Shanghai, New York and Mumbai: three great cities in three big nations. Using these as examples, Hans Rosling shows you how India is catching up to China and how China is catching up to the United States.
In the video, Hans Rosling presents state- and province-level differences in China, India and the US. The healthiest provinces in China now outperform the least healthy states of the United States, and similarly the healthiest states of India outperform some Chinese provinces.
The video also reveals that the infant mortality rate in the US capital, Washington DC, most likely is higher than in Beijing, the capital of China. This is not due to a lack of resources in the US but rather to inequalities in the American health system.
A good way to monitor progress towards President Obama’s goal of improving the US health system will be to study the infant mortality rate in Washington DC, year by year which you can do at Gapminder.
Compare US-states and China's Provinces in Gapminder
In Gapminder World, the interactive online graph, each bubble represents a country. Now you can go beyond country level in US and China to explore states and provinces and compare them to the countries of the world, in the same way as Hans Rosling does in the video above.
New Video: 200 years that changed the world
In the last news mail we told you about the possibility to see over 200 years development in Gapminder. Hans Rosling has now recorded a video in which he uses that graph to explore what happened to life expectancy and income for all countries the last 200 years.
