| Summary: | Hans Rosling, a professor of international health at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden, has created a visual model that makes development statistics more accessible to the public. In order to enable people to better understand where and in what conditions the majority of the world's population lives, he envisioned a graph that could demonstrate the relationship between health and wealth of countries and their sizes proportional to population. He envisions his pioneering Gapminder software, developed in collaboration with his son and one of his students, or a similar alternative as the crucial transmitter connecting the statistical sources provided by the UN, governments, and nongovernmental organizations, allowing the public to be accurately informed about the purpose and progress of global projects.
