1)His main idea is the world population will decrease automatically and people don’t need to worry and panic about the problem. In fact, he showed the fact that the number of babies per woman is decreasing and the life span is increasing worldwide, so the world population will not be out of control. His conclusion is people’s families will continue to be smaller. I agree with him because he showed the evidence data and almost all women except for African areas have fewer families than past. Also, we have many opportunities to learn to make families. We can learn anything online, so we have better environments to learn how to have families and protect ourselves. Now, business conditions are not good and women tend to work, so it’s harder to think about babies. Young people in Japan tend to think that they don’t want to make families. Women can get more opportunities to work than past and they want to achieve their careers, so the population will decrease in the future and we don’t need to panic.
2)She works for the government family planning services which employ women like her in each village. She goes door to door to try to help others to have smaller families. Also, she offers advice and arranges contraception, for example, pills and condoms.
2a)It is hard to convince people not to have more families because they have less education women cannot think about their babies seriously and the women think it is up to men to have babies. I think the government needs to offer education for women and men because people in Bangladesh don’t understand the responsibility of having families. They need to know the costs and burden. If women can have good education and careers, they may think about their bodies and families more importantly.
3)In Japan, the population is decreasing and the government is trying to increase it because the burden of taxes for young people is bigger and there is less chance of invention or innovation. The government gives them 30,000 yen per month and may give free education at the university if they have more than 3 children. The government conducts other compensations to increase the number of babies. However, the population in Japan continues to be decreasing, and it is wondering if those compensations are effective.

I agree with your last opinion. Most Japanese politicians think that money will solve the problem. However, it does not lead to a fundamental solution and the population continues to decline. This highlights the fact that politicians themselves have not been involved in raising children. It would be a simple matter for female politicians who have experience in child rearing to come up with policies. However, Japanese politics is difficult because of its male-dominated nature.

1) What were the main ideas presented in Rosling’s lecture? Do you agree with his conclusions, why or why not?
Many people think that birth is out of our control, some even talk of a population bomb. However, Rosling argues that the future may not be quite as gloomy and mankind is already doing better than many of people think. According to the data, the number of babies born per woman has gone from 5 to 2.5 and is still decreasing. I also believe that the speaker got the point. the giant developing countries like China, India have already had control their population and many other developed countries have helped emerging countries teach the method of contraception. We live in a world of relentless change. The only one option left is population decrease.
2) What sort of work does Taslima Khan do?
Taslima works for the government family planning service which employs women like her in every village go door to door to try to help others to have smaller families. She offers advice, moral support and most importantly a range of contraceptives.
2a) What are some difficulties she faces in her work? What is your suggestion for her in tackling these difficulties?
She finds it hard to get through to them when they are less educated. People who do not know much about sex education cannot realize the influence of having a big family. To make better understanding for those, I recommend that they create and distribute pamphlets that include experience of having a small family, data of fertility rates. Moreover, they can organize a small town meeting for women to share their own experiences like a community. As a result, word will get out to others. We can expect ‘world-of-mouth effect’.
3) What is the current situation in your country in terms of population and what is the government doing to deal with it?
The two biggest problems in my country are the increasing number of senior citizens and reducing fertility rates. There are a few reasons. Firstly, taking care of senior citizens requires a lot of taxes from young people. Therefore, they feel burdensome by paying a lot of taxes and are worried about the lack of a national pension. Secondly, there are not enough day care service centers for elderly and children. It leads young people to give up having children. Lastly, as the cost of living is rising, they cannot afford to have kids. As a result, many young generation give up on getting married and decide to remain single. In this regard, the population in my country is decreasing

To add to that, the government tries to deal with the problems in various ways. For example, when young people give birth, the government provides benefits such as support funds, maternity leave and temporary babysitters. However, I believe these are not the ultimate solutions.

Many people think population growth is out of control, some even talk of a population bomb. However, Hans Rosling said his main ideas that the good news is that the future may not be quite as gloomy and that mankind is already doing better than many of you think. Following the data, today, the average in the world is the birth rate per woman is 2.5 and it used to be 50 years ago. Which means, the average number of babies born per woman has gone from 5 to 2.5 and it is still decreasing. I would like to agree his statement, because every people can get an opportunity of sexual education throgh social networking services. For example, an infulencer who name is midwife Sioline is increasing opportunities for proper sexual education, starting with You Tube in Japan. So, I guess that the opportunity to have children unnecessarily will gradually decrease as all people, including those in developing countries, are given the chance to learn.

She works for the government family planning service which employees women like her in every village. She goes door to door to try to help others to have smaller families. She offers advice, moral support and most importantly, a range of contraceptives. She provide counseling for women’s pregnancies.
2a)
She faced on problems that it can be hard to get through to them when they are less educated and she and they are getting the message across gradually. If I were Taslima, my suggestion is that to hold roundtable discussions, first with women only, and then gradually work to get men to participate as well. We will identify issues at this roundtable discussion, and then distribute pamphlets and other items for sexual education and the advancement of women, and create learning opportunities for women and men to share a common understanding of what is most important, without boundaries between them.

In recent years in Japan, the government and locals have gradually begun to set up subsidies and other programs for the younger generation so that they can benefit from the declining birthrate. On the other hand, millennials who grew up during the bubble economy in 1990’s do not have the same population-related backstopping measures that they call birthrate reduction measures. In an aging society, it can be inferred that the generation born around 1945, which makes up a large portion of the population, is living proportionally longer and receiving larger pensions as health care improves, meaning that the government is extracting more taxes from the working generation and allocating them to the older generation. In light of the above, it can be said that the younger generation is increasingly unable to have children because they are being taxed on smaller salaries and have a realistic understanding of the limitations of having a family and children. All in all, Japan is an aging society and a future of declining population due to mutual workings.

1)The main idea in Rosling’s lecture is that you don’t need to worry about increasing the world population in the future. Because according to him, the average number of births in a family is decreasing. In addition, in recent days, the birth rates in developing countries have been approaching those of developed countries. However, I disagree with him. Because, some countries will have problems if the population decreases, such as Japan. In Japan, the birth rate is steadily declining, concerns about future workforce reduction and regional depopulation.
2)She works for the government family planning service which employs woman like her in every village. She goes door to door to try to help others to have some smaller families. In addition, she offers the advice of more support and most important range to contraception.
2A)My suggestion for her in tackling these difficulties is education. Before she gives them pills, she should teach them the risks of easily having children. Because it looked like some women in the video can’t understand why it is necessary to use contraception. Even if she provides contraceptive pills, there is a possibility that the same situation might recur. No matter how much pill there is, it won’t be enough. Therefore, for example, how much money it takes for children to grow up, how much physical strain does giving birth impose on their body.
3)In Japan, the declining birthrate is accelerating. According to Database.earth, in the 2023 Highest Total Fertility Rate ranking, Japan was ranked 217th out of 237 countries. Then, the current population fertility rate of Japan is about 1.3 births per woman. Therefore, the government of Japan is taking steps to address the declining birthrate. Due to a long time declining birthrate, it enacted a law in 2003 to address the issue. For example, the government provides the payment when people give birth and waive the tuition fee when their children are in high school. Because one of the reasons for the declining birthrate is people worry about the high cost of education. Furthermore, the government carries out work style reforms to enable a balance between work and childcare. It encourages men to take vacations for raising children as well.

I agree perfectly that Japan is facing a seriously declining birthrate and an aging society. In recent years, Japan has recommended parental leave for men. In the past, this would have been unthinkable. However, although we encourage male employees to take parental leave, we often see cases where they do not get a good response from their companies and are reluctant to take the leave. There are still issues to be addressed in the area of parental leave for men.

1) What were the main ideas presented in Rosling’s lecture? Do you agree with his conclusions, why or why not?
His main idea is that the population won’t keep increasing and people won’t panic. He proves this idea by using some dates. These dates show us that recently the number of each woman has is decreasing and the long of lifespan is increasing, it means that in the future population won’t keep increasing so we don’t need to worry about it. I agree with his opinion because recently the diversity of lifestyle is becoming popular and developing country is also changing like Bangladesh. In some countries, women must give birth because of culture or religion, but if population increase too much, government must decide some rules not to occur panic like China. Therefor, even if the culture doesn’t change, they must decrease the population.
2) What sort of work does Taslima Khan do?
Her job is the government Family planning service. She works for women to help having smaller families. For example, she teaches women that how to prevent being pregnant or supporting to have smaller families.
2a) What are some difficulties she faces in her work? What is your suggestion for her in tackling these difficulties?
One of them is their culture which father’s opinion is most important, and mother must follow him. That why women can’t say their opinion and they think they must give birth. This problem can’t be changed by her because it’s problem of their country, but she can teach how to protect themselves or other options except just following their husband.
3) What is the current situation in your country in terms of population and what is the government doing to deal with it?
My country population is decreasing, and the government is trying to many solutions. For example, they made some rules which admire the right to take a holiday after women give birth. Moreover, recently company also promote these systems such as taking holiday or working short time during growing their baby. However, there are many problems such as less nursery or low salary, so population problem aren’t solved yet.

1)Many people become concerned or fearful when they hear talk of population growth. But the future is not so bleak, he states, and there is hope. According to the data he used, the number of babies per woman has gone from 5 to 2.5 and is still declining. He claims that education is becoming more accessible in developing countries and that excessive population growth is being controlled. I agree with him. Excessive population growth affects not only humans but also non-human animals and even nature. However, equilibrium can be maintained if the population is not increased too much and not decreased too little. So I don’t think it is serious even if the birth rate is down compared to the past and now.
2)She works for the government Family Planning Service which employs women like her in every village. She teaches women proper knowledge, provide moral support, and offer a variety of contraceptives.
2a)She is faced with the difference between her idea of the global standard and the standard held by women in her country. If they had taken the right education, they would be able to understand the problems of having many children and how it will affect their future. However, they are the generation that did not have access to education, and it is difficult for them to get it all back now. Therefore, I think that not only these women but also men should be educated about child rearing. From the video, it seems that her husband is also interested in education.
3)In my home country of Japan, the population has been declining year by year. The government has proposed a solution using money, but it has received a lot of flak. The reason for this is that the government has come up with a policy of just handing out money. Moreover, the policy has unnecessary detailed restrictions that make it impossible to receive the money easily.

Taslima Khan work at government family planning service.
She suggest that women prevent unnecessary pregnant.
2a)
Some women can’t deny contraceptive from their husband. Women don’t have the authority. And it is considered a good thing to have a boy thus they continue to give birth until having a boy.
My suggestion is that pregnancy is not just woman problem, so all gender should take education about it.
3)
The population in Japan is decreasing. Many young people aren’t getting marriage. There are several reasons. One of the reason is the women’s social advancement. They want career. once having children, women have to stop their career thus they decide having no children. Furthermore, rising children costs money so that people hesitate to have children.
To address this, the government try to accept immigrant however, many Japanese have conservative idea so it is difficult.

1) His main idea was that the world population, which is still growing, can be controlled. He showed the example of Bangladesh which could succeed in decreasing the number of children per woman to resolve its highly dense population. I agree with his conclusion. Because, from his lecture, not only the number of newborn babies but also the length of life span cause a huge effect on the population and the gap between rich and poor. Thinking for the long term, a small family with a long lifespan can be said to be a more sustainable form of a family than a large family with a short life span in a developing country, because the quality of each person can be elevated.
2) She works for a government family planning service, whose job is to help others to have small families by visiting some houses door-to-door in the village.
2a) She struggled to get less educated people to accept contraception because some people want to give birth until they have a baby boy. My suggestion is to explain the reason why the government tried to decrease the number of newborn babies precisely. People who want to have children might feel stressed by controlling their lives by the government even if the government‘s purpose is to improve the quality of their lives.
3)My country is Japan whose population has decreased and has the longest lifespan. The more progress women in careers make worldwide, the more the tendency of late marriage and decline in the number of children has been seen. But, recently the high-density generation has been getting older and the demand for nursing care and pension will be increased which means the load for each person of the young generation will be bigger and bigger physically and economically. The Japanese government focuses on some policies that improve women’s workplaces which keep the balance between work and childcare or provide financial support for younger families.

1, Hans Rosling referred to global change by population change. He argues that the population of the earth is growing rapidly, and while we are definitely facing major challenges, the future of the earth is not as dark as we think it is. In developing and densely populated countries like Bangladesh, the birth rate per woman has declined and life expectancy has increased in recent years. Family planning is reducing the gap between fertility rates and life expectancy in developed and developing countries. I agree with his idea. Of course, there is still a huge gap between developed and developing countries in terms of population and quality of life. However, governments and some organizations are trying to close this gap by providing education, work and technology opportunities. I think the future can change in any way depending on our actions and ideas from now on, and the future may not be as gloomy.
2, Taslima Khan works for the government Family Planning Service. Her job is to try to help others to have smaller families.
2a, She has difficulty with regard to getting others to understand the importance of having a small family, because they are not educated enough about it. Sometimes, they cannot ask their husbands for contraception or go against the custom that they should give birth to a boy. I think people should be more aware of the risks involved in having more than one child. I think that all people should make life plans for the future, considering the physical and financial burdens on women.
3, Japan’s population is gradually declining. The main reason is considered to be that young people have more freedom in their life choices. Some people do not marry and give priority to their work careers, and some couples decide not to have children even after marriage. However, in addition to these positive reasons, some people do not have children because they do not have enough time and money to raise children. Recently, some local governments have begun to offer subsidies for every child born and to increase the percentage of men taking parental leave.

The world is changing profoundly in ways that most of us don’t even realize, and much of it is moving to the better ways.

The difficulty thing she faced at work was that many of the women in the rural villages were lack of educated, so they don’t have enough sex education.
My suggestion for her in tackling these difficulties are give women the right concept, let them know that the reality has changed, and we don’t need to be the same as traditional culture. Then, men also need to receive sex education courses, because contraception is not unilaterally done by women.

1. His main point is that the decline in the birth rate lengthens the principal exquisite. A decline in the birth rate is not a bad thing; it can be a good thing. For example, he says, the fewer children you have, the better quality of life you can have. I partially agree with him. However, I disagree with him. A decline in the birth rate naturally reduces the number of children. More children lead to the development of educational institutions and also increase future possibilities. Children are essential to the development of a country.
2. She works for a government family planning service. Her job is to visit each family individually and help them become smaller. It is also her job to teach and provide women with more information about the pill and condoms, and to provide them with emotional support.
2a. I think she faces the challenge of communicating with a population that is not well educated in sex education. In their country, men are stronger and have more power. Women’s position is not strong. Even though she teaches women many things about contraception, women are not allowed to go against the views of their husbands. We need to reduce the number of our people who are trapped in that traditional view. Also. She recommends that men and women’s husbands be taught about contraception as well. Family planning is a marital issue. Therefore, not only women but also men have an obligation to listen to them.
3. Today, Japan has a rapidly aging society in addition to a declining birthrate. More and more women are entering the workforce, and an increasing number of them value their careers first and foremost. As a result, an increasing number of young people are not getting married or giving birth. Raising children is not easy either, as it costs a lot of money. The government is focusing on support for children by providing free tuition and medical care for children.

There have been amazing changes in 40 years. The average number of babies born to a woman in the world has changed from 5 to 2.5 I agree with his conclusion because he wasn’t just explaining, he was using graphs to explain how each country was changing.

She is currently working on visiting door-to- door, to try to help others to have smaller families is important.

Therefore, I suggest that there should be opportunities to learn about sexuality in schools, either as class or volunteer.
3) What is the current situation in your country in terms of population and what is the government doing to deal with it?
In my country, Japan is the aging of the population and, in the long term, there is the problem of declining tax and other revenue sources. Also, we don’t know what the future holds for Japan as the population continues to decline. In addition, the cost of increasing pensions and other expenses for the older population will increase, and the economy will no longer be able to afford them.

In Japan, we are facing a declining birth rate and an aging population. The aged dependency ratio is the highest in the world and this rate indicates that the aging population is the fastest in the world. This leads to a serious shortage of workers, so our government is trying to solve this problem. For example, they made the politics to set up the environment to raise children easier by paying subsidies. However, we have not resolved this problem yet and we have to think about it from now on.

1.The main idea is to understand rapid population growth and change, and to show how developing countries, in particular, are facing this problem. I agree with his conclusion. Because I think the future is not so bleak as long as people grow up, think about what to do about the problems, and follow the right information.
2. She works for the government Family Planning Service. Her job role is to try to help others to have smaller families. Every village employs a woman like her, who faces each family and encourages them to make the right decisions. As a result of these and other efforts, the number of babies born per woman in Bangladesh has decreased from about seven to two in 40 years.
3.There are some problems which she faces. One of the most serious problems is the lack of sexual education in Bangladesh and other developing countries. It can be hard to understand when they are less educated. In addition, there are not many women who have as few children as she does. As a consequence, it would take a long time to help each family, and help may not be forthcoming.
My suggestion against these problems is that parents and relatives teach correct sexual knowledge to their children. Since it takes time and money to set up an education system in developing countries, those who are closest to the children should teach them seriously.
4. In Japan, now we have a big problem about population as well. It is a declining birthrate. What is wrong with this is that the economy will grow at a lower rate due to the decline in the working population. The government’s measures include: 1) strengthening economic support such as child allowances; 2) expanding support for childcare for school children, sick children, and postpartum care; and 3) promoting reform of work styles. However, the birth rate has not increased even after the implementation of these measures, so it can be said that they are not effective.
