  • Since a couple of decades ago many African nations are showing great growth numbers and are taking fast steps out of poverty and into middle-income status. What is causing this drastic shift and what can be learned from it?

    We need a lot more videos like these, most media today only reports about negative and controversal things and ignores positive things like in this video :)

    Please read Julia black’s insider article about billionaires promoting pronatalism. I think it’s relevant to your channel.

    VERY interesting. I'm glad to see that they are at least meeting (more or less) their population replacement rate. Many parts of the world currently are not and that is a concern. It may be Africa that is largely responsible for maintaining the human population on Earth, so we need them to do well going forward. Thanks for the information.

    The unfortunate thing is that the GDP of Africa has tripled, the population has kept pace, meaning real progress has been vanishingly small.

      Not nearly as much though, 70 % since 2000, so there is for sure some economic growth

    It does seem like some African countries are starting to get their feet under them. In 10 or 20 years' time, with any luck, we may be talking about some of them the way we do South Korea now.

    All these growth has happened as soon as Africa started trading with China.

    did you on purpose ignore north africa when choosing the 8 nations because every other region is represented except north africa

    • @SmallCirclesForward
      @SmallCirclesForward  Рік тому +4

      In a way yes, I wanted to show the growth in Sub-saharan Africa. I think it is more known that the economies of Northern Africa has historically done better.
