We are here today
0
15260
2000
今天我來到這裡,
00:17
because [the] United Nations
1
17260
2000
是因為聯合國
00:19
have defined goals
2
19260
2000
為國家的發展
00:21
for the progress of countries.
3
21260
2000
定了幾個目標,
00:23
They're called Millennium Development Goals.
4
23260
3000
他們稱之為「千禧發展目標」。
00:26
And the reason I really like these goals
5
26260
3000
我喜歡這些目標的原因是,
00:29
is that there are eight of them.
6
29260
3000
他們分成八個目標。
00:32
And by specifying eight different goals,
7
32260
2000
這八個不同目標是由聯合國所訂定的,
00:34
the United Nations has said
8
34260
2000
他們認為要讓一個國家
00:36
that there are so many things needed
9
36260
2000
為人民創造更好的生活,
00:38
to change in a country
10
38260
2000
有太多事情
00:40
in order to get the good life for people.
11
40260
2000
是等著我們去做的。
00:42
Look here -- you have to end poverty,
12
42260
2000
看看這裡,我們應該終止貧窮、
00:44
education, gender,
13
44260
2000
發展教育、性別平等、
00:46
child and maternal health,
14
46260
2000
重視孩童與母親的健康、
00:48
control infections, protect the environment
15
48260
3000
控制傳染病、保護環境、
00:51
and get the good global links between nations
16
51260
2000
讓世界各國維持良好關係,
00:53
in every aspect
17
53260
2000
這些目標包涵了每一個面向,
00:55
from aid to trade.
18
55260
3000
從援助到貿易都有。
00:58
There's a second reason I like these development goals,
19
58260
3000
我喜歡這幾個發展目標還有另一個原因,
01:01
and that is because each and every one is measured.
20
61260
3000
就是每一個目標都可以加以衡量。
01:04
Take child mortality;
21
64260
3000
舉孩童死亡率為例,
01:07
the aim here is to reduce child mortality
22
67260
2000
目標是要在1990年到2050年內,
01:09
by two-thirds,
23
69260
2000
降低孩童死亡率
01:11
from 1990 to 2015.
24
71260
3000
達三分之二,
01:14
That's a four percent reduction per year --
25
74260
3000
也就是每年要下降4%,
01:18
and this, with measuring.
26
78260
2000
這是可以衡量的。
01:20
That's what makes the difference
27
80260
2000
這就是為什麼政治語言
01:22
between political talking like this
28
82260
2000
和實際上為人民創造
01:24
and really going for the important thing,
29
84260
2000
更好的生活,
01:26
a better life for people.
30
86260
3000
會有那麼大的差別。
01:29
And what I'm so happy about with this
31
89260
2000
我之所以很高興,
01:31
is that we have already documented
32
91260
2000
是因為我們終於看到,
01:33
that there are many countries
33
93260
2000
在亞洲、中東、
01:35
in Asia, in the Middle East,
34
95260
2000
拉丁美洲
01:37
in Latin America and East Europe
35
97260
3000
和東歐的許多國家裡,
01:40
that [are] reducing with this rate.
36
100260
2000
這個比率確實在下降。
01:42
And even mighty Brazil is going down with five percent per year,
37
102260
3000
即使偉大的巴西每年的孩童死亡率也下降了5%,
01:45
and Turkey with seven percent per year.
38
105260
2000
土耳其則下降了7%,
01:47
So there's good news.
39
107260
2000
這真是好消息。
01:49
But then I hear people saying, "There is no progress in Africa.
40
109260
3000
但我聽到有人說:「非洲的情況並沒有改善啊...
01:52
And there's not even statistics on Africa
41
112260
2000
我們連非洲的統計數據都看不到,
01:54
to know what is happening."
42
114260
2000
要怎麼知道發生了什麼事?」
01:56
I'll prove them wrong on both points.
43
116260
3000
我要來證明這些人錯了。
01:59
Come with me to the wonderful world of statistics.
44
119260
3000
和我一起來看看這些美妙的統計數據,
02:02
I bring you to the webpage, ChildMortality.org,
45
122260
3000
你可以上這個網頁:ChildMortality.org,
02:05
where you can take deaths in children
46
125260
2000
上面有每一個國家
02:07
below five years of age for all countries --
47
127260
3000
年齡小於五歲的孩童死亡數字,
02:10
it's done by U.N. specialists.
48
130260
2000
這是由聯合國的專家所統計出來的,
02:12
And I will take Kenya as an example.
49
132260
2000
我就舉肯亞為例子好了。
02:14
Here you see the data.
50
134260
2000
你看這個資料,
02:16
Don't panic -- don't panic now, I'll help you through this.
51
136260
3000
先別緊張,先別緊張,我來告訴你們怎麼看這些數據。
02:19
It looks nasty, like in college
52
139260
2000
這看起來很恐怖,就像你在大學時
02:21
when you didn't like statistics.
53
141260
2000
最討厭上的統計課一樣,
02:23
But first thing, when you see dots like this,
54
143260
2000
但是,當你看到這些點點的時候,
02:25
you have to ask yourself:
55
145260
2000
你得先問你自己一個問題:
02:27
from where do the data come?
56
147260
2000
這些數據是從哪裡來的?
02:29
What is the origin of the data?
57
149260
2000
原始數據在哪裡?
02:31
Is it so that in Kenya,
58
151260
2000
在肯亞有沒有
02:33
there are doctors and other specialists
59
153260
2000
醫生或其他專業人員,
02:35
who write the death certificate at the death of the child
60
155260
2000
在孩童死去的時候,填寫一張死亡證明,
02:37
and it's sent to the statistical office?
61
157260
2000
然後送到統計局去?
02:39
No -- low-income countries like Kenya
62
159260
3000
沒有,像肯亞這種低收入國家
02:42
still don't have that level of organization.
63
162260
3000
還沒有這種層級的機構組織,
02:45
It exists, but it's not complete
64
165260
2000
是有這種組織沒錯,但是缺乏完整的運作功能,
02:47
because so many deaths occur in the home
65
167260
3000
因為有許多孩童是在
02:50
with the family,
66
170260
2000
家裡死去,
02:52
and it's not registered.
67
172260
2000
沒有做任何登記。
02:54
What we rely on is not an incomplete system.
68
174260
2000
我們不能信任這種不完整的系統,
02:56
We have interviews, we have surveys.
69
176260
3000
我們只能進行訪談,深入調查。
02:59
And this is highly professional
70
179260
2000
這是一位極為專業的
03:01
female interviewers
71
181260
2000
女性訪問員,
03:03
who sit down for one hour with a woman
72
183260
2000
她和一位女士坐在一起一個小時,
03:05
and ask her about [her] birth history.
73
185260
2000
詢問對方的生產資料,
03:07
How many children did you have?
74
187260
2000
你生了幾個小孩?
03:09
Are they alive?
75
189260
2000
全都活著嗎?
03:11
If they died, at what age and what year?
76
191260
3000
死掉的孩子是在哪一年、幾歲的時候死去?
03:14
And then this is done in a representative sample
77
194260
2000
這些會成為那個國家裡
03:16
of thousands of women in the country
78
196260
3000
成千上萬婦女的代表性樣本,
03:19
and put together in what used to be called
79
199260
2000
這些樣本會被蒐集起來,
03:21
a demographic health survey report.
80
201260
3000
放進人口健康調查的報告裡。
03:24
But these surveys are costly,
81
204260
2000
但這種調查需要很多經費,
03:26
so they can only be done [in] three- to five-year intervals.
82
206260
3000
所以只能每隔三到五年才能做一次,
03:29
But they have good quality.
83
209260
2000
但調查的品質很好,
03:31
So this is a limitation.
84
211260
2000
只是經費有些限制。
03:33
And all these colored lines here are results;
85
213260
3000
這些有顏色的線就是調查結果,
03:36
each color is one survey.
86
216260
2000
每一種顏色代表每一次的調查。
03:38
But that's too complicated for today, so I'll simplify it for you,
87
218260
3000
但這樣看起來太複雜了,所以我想要簡化一點,
03:41
and I give you one average point for each survey.
88
221260
3000
我就把每一次調查的平均值點出來好了,
03:44
This was 1977, 1988,
89
224260
3000
這是1977年、1988年、
03:47
1992, '97
90
227260
2000
1992年、1997年
03:49
and 2002.
91
229260
3000
和2002年。
03:52
And when the experts in the U.N.
92
232260
2000
當聯合國的專家們
03:54
have got these surveys in place in their database,
93
234260
3000
把這些數據放進資料庫,
03:57
then they use advanced mathematical formulas
94
237260
3000
他們就會用先進的數學公式
04:00
to produce a trend line, and the trend line looks like this.
95
240260
3000
來畫出一條趨勢線,像是這一條趨勢線,
04:03
See here -- it's the best fit they can get of this point.
96
243260
3000
看這裡,這是他們畫出來的線,
04:06
But watch out --
97
246260
2000
請你注意看,
04:08
they continue the line
98
248260
2000
他們還把線
04:10
beyond the last point
99
250260
2000
往後延伸了,
04:12
out into nothing.
100
252260
2000
延伸到未來,
04:14
And they estimated that in 2008,
101
254260
3000
他們估計,在2008年,
04:17
Kenya had per child mortality of 128.
102
257260
3000
肯亞孩童的死亡率是128。
04:20
And I was sad,
103
260260
2000
我很難過,
04:22
because we could see
104
262260
2000
因為我們本來以為,
04:24
this reversal in Kenya
105
264260
2000
在90年代肯亞的
04:26
with an increased child mortality in the 90s.
106
266260
3000
孩童死亡率達到高峰後,應該會下降,
04:29
It was so tragic.
107
269260
2000
但沒有,真的很慘。
04:31
But in June, I got a mail in my inbox
108
271260
3000
但我在六月的時候收到一封電子郵件,
04:34
from Demographic Health Surveys,
109
274260
2000
是從人口健康調查局送出的郵件,
04:36
and it showed good news from Kenya.
110
276260
2000
我看到了來自肯亞的好消息。
04:38
I was so happy.
111
278260
2000
我很高興,
04:40
This was the estimate of the new survey.
112
280260
3000
這是新調查做出的估計,
04:43
Then it just took another three months
113
283260
2000
聯合國又花了三個月的時間,
04:45
for [the] U.N. to get it into their server,
114
285260
2000
把資料放進電腦裡,
04:47
and on Friday we got the new trend line --
115
287260
3000
星期五我們才收到新畫出來的趨勢線,
04:50
it was down here.
116
290260
2000
從這裡開始下降了,
04:52
Isn't it nice -- isn't it nice, yeah?
117
292260
2000
很棒吧?這真的很棒,不是嗎?
04:54
I was actually, on Friday, sitting in front of my computer,
118
294260
3000
星期五的時候,我一整個上午都坐在電腦前面,
04:57
and I saw the death rate fall
119
297260
2000
看著死亡率下降,
04:59
from 128 to 84 just that morning.
120
299260
3000
從128下降到84,
05:02
So we celebrated.
121
302260
2000
我們高興地慶祝了起來。
05:04
But now, when you have this trend line,
122
304260
2000
但是,當你看到這條趨勢線的時候,
05:06
how do we measure progress?
123
306260
2000
要怎麼樣來衡量進步程度?
05:08
I'm going into some details here,
124
308260
2000
我現在來仔細講解
05:10
because [the] U.N. do it like this.
125
310260
2000
聯合國的作法,
05:12
They start [in] 1990 -- they measure to 2009.
126
312260
3000
他們是從1990年開始,一直衡量到2009年,
05:15
They say, "0.9 percent, no progress."
127
315260
3000
他們發現:「只有0.9%,沒有進步。」
05:18
That's unfair.
128
318260
2000
這不合理,
05:20
As a professor, I think I have the right to propose something differently.
129
320260
3000
身為一位教授,我認為我有權利提出不同的見解,
05:23
I would say, at least do this --
130
323260
2000
我會說,至少要做這個分析,
05:25
10 years is enough to follow the trend.
131
325260
2000
十年就足以看出趨勢了,
05:27
It's two surveys, and you can see what's happening now.
132
327260
3000
十年裡會有二次調查,你就可以看出實際的狀況,
05:30
They have 2.4 percent.
133
330260
2000
其實是2.4%。
05:32
Had I been in the Ministry of Health in Kenya,
134
332260
2000
要是我是肯亞的衛生署長,
05:34
I may have joined these two points.
135
334260
3000
我就會把這二個點列入考慮。
05:37
So what I'm telling you
136
337260
2000
我要告訴各位的是,
05:39
is that we know the child mortality.
137
339260
2000
我們已經知道孩童的死亡率,
05:41
We have a decent trend.
138
341260
2000
我們畫得出一條趨勢線,
05:43
It's coming into some tricky things then
139
343260
2000
但我們在衡量這些千禧發展目標時,
05:45
when we are measuring MDGs.
140
345260
2000
有些陷阱是必須注意的,
05:47
And the reason here for Africa is especially important,
141
347260
3000
尤其是對非洲來說格外重要,
05:50
because '90s was a bad decade,
142
350260
2000
因為90年代是很不好的十年,
05:52
not only in Kenya, but across Africa.
143
352260
3000
不只是肯亞,整個非洲都很不好。
05:55
The HIV epidemic peaked.
144
355260
2000
HIV病毒的擴散達到高峰;
05:57
There was resistance for the old malaria drugs, until we got the new drugs.
145
357260
3000
瘧疾已對舊的藥物產生抗藥性,直到我們開發出新藥才抑制下來;
06:00
We got, later, the mosquito netting.
146
360260
2000
我們後來也收到許多蚊帳;
06:02
And there was socio-economic problems,
147
362260
2000
還有一些社會經濟的問題,
06:04
which are now being solved at a much better scale.
148
364260
3000
現在才改善到較好的狀況。
06:07
So look at the average here --
149
367260
2000
現在來看看平均數,
06:09
this is the average for all of sub-Saharan Africa.
150
369260
2000
這是撒哈拉沙漠以南非洲的平均數,
06:11
And [the] U.N. says
151
371260
2000
聯合國說
06:13
it's a reduction with 1.8 percent.
152
373260
3000
下降了1.8%。
06:16
Now this sounds a little theoretical,
153
376260
2000
我現在要講的會讓你以為很理論,
06:18
but it's not so theoretical.
154
378260
2000
但是並不會,
06:20
You know, these economists,
155
380260
2000
這些經濟學家,
06:22
they love money, they want more and more of it, they want it to grow.
156
382260
3000
他們愛錢,他們希望錢愈多愈好,他們喜歡看到成長,
06:25
So they calculate the percent annual growth rate of [the] economy.
157
385260
3000
所以他們老是在計算每年的經濟成長率;
06:28
We in public health, we hate child death,
158
388260
3000
但我們這種公共衛生領域的人,我們討厭孩童死亡,
06:31
so we want less and less and less of child deaths.
159
391260
2000
我們希望孩童死亡人數愈少愈好,
06:33
So we calculate the percent reduction per year,
160
393260
2000
所以我們會計算每年的下降比率,
06:35
but it's sort of the same percentage.
161
395260
2000
但其實這二種都是同一種比率。
06:37
If your economy grows with four percent,
162
397260
2000
如果經濟成長了4%,
06:39
you ought to reduce child mortality four percent;
163
399260
2000
孩童死亡率應該也會下降4%才對,
06:41
if it's used well and people are really involved
164
401260
3000
因為如果經濟成長了,
06:44
and can get the use of the resources in the way they want it.
165
404260
3000
人們就會有足夠的資源去做他們想做的事。
06:47
So is this fair now to measure this over 19 years?
166
407260
3000
那你覺得用19年的期間來衡量這個指標合理嗎?
06:50
An economist would never do that.
167
410260
3000
經濟學家就不會這麼做。
06:53
I have just divided it into two periods.
168
413260
2000
我把整個期間分成二個期間來看,
06:55
In the 90s, only 1.2 percent,
169
415260
3000
在1990年代,只有1.2%,
06:58
only 1.2 percent.
170
418260
2000
只有1.2%。
07:00
Whereas now, second gear --
171
420260
2000
現在則換到二檔--
07:02
it's like Africa had first gear,
172
422260
2000
過去的非洲是在一檔,
07:04
now they go into second gear.
173
424260
2000
現在換到了二檔。
07:06
But even this
174
426260
2000
但即使如此,
07:08
is not a fair representation of Africa,
175
428260
2000
還是不能合理代表非洲的狀況,
07:10
because it's an average,
176
430260
2000
因為我們用的是平均數,
07:12
it's an average speed of reduction in Africa.
177
432260
2000
也就是說,這是非洲平均的下降速度。
07:14
And look here when I take you into my bubble graphs.
178
434260
3000
我讓你們看看我畫的圖表,
07:17
Still here,
179
437260
2000
和前面一樣,
07:19
child death per 1,000 on that axis.
180
439260
3000
這個軸代表的是每千個孩童死亡的人數,
07:22
Here we have [the] year.
181
442260
2000
這邊則代表年份。
07:24
And I'm now giving you a wider picture than the MDG.
182
444260
3000
我要讓你們看看比千禧發展目標更宏觀的圖表,
07:27
I start 50 years ago
183
447260
2000
我從50年前開始記錄,
07:29
when Africa celebrated independence in most countries.
184
449260
3000
那時非洲大部分的國家都才剛剛獨立,
07:32
I give you Congo, which was high,
185
452260
2000
例如剛果,死亡率很高,
07:34
Ghana -- lower. And Kenya -- even lower.
186
454260
2000
迦納比較低,肯亞更低一點。
07:36
And what has happened over the years since then? Here we go.
187
456260
3000
那以後又發生了什麼事?我們來看看,
07:39
You can see, with independence, literacy improved
188
459260
3000
因為國家獨立了,人民的讀寫能力跟著提升;
07:42
and vaccinations started, smallpox was eradicated,
189
462260
3000
人民接種牛痘疫苗,天花逐漸絕跡;
07:45
hygiene was improved, and things got better.
190
465260
3000
衛生環境也改善了,每一件事都變得更好。
07:48
But then, in the '80s, watch out here.
191
468260
2000
但我們看看這裡,1980年代的時候,
07:50
Congo got into civil war,
192
470260
2000
剛果發生了內戰,
07:52
and they leveled off here.
193
472260
2000
所以他們就維持在這個水平線上,
07:54
Ghana got very ahead, fast.
194
474260
2000
迦納則持續下降,
07:56
This was the backlash in Kenya, and Ghana bypassed,
195
476260
3000
肯亞稍微往上升一點,然後迦納超越肯亞,
07:59
but then Kenya and Ghana go down together --
196
479260
2000
接著肯亞和迦納就一起往下降,
08:01
still a standstill in Congo.
197
481260
2000
剛果還是維持在那個水平線上。
08:03
That's where we are today.
198
483260
2000
到今天就是這副模樣。
08:05
You can see it doesn't make sense
199
485260
3000
你們看看,把那些沒有改善的國家
08:08
to make an average of this zero improvement
200
488260
3000
和改善非常快的國家,放在一起平均,
08:11
and this very fast improvement.
201
491260
3000
是完全沒有道理的。
08:15
Time has come
202
495260
2000
現在是該停止
08:17
to stop thinking about sub-Saharan Africa as one place.
203
497260
4000
把撒哈拉沙漠以南的非洲視為一個整合區域的時候了,
08:21
Their countries are so different,
204
501260
3000
那裡每個國家都不一樣,
08:24
and they merit to be recognized in the same way,
205
504260
3000
他們不應該再被視為一個區域,
08:27
as we don't talk about Europe as one place.
206
507260
2000
就像我們不會以為歐洲是一個區域一樣。
08:29
I can tell you that the economy in Greece and Sweden are very different --
207
509260
3000
我可以告訴各位,希臘和瑞典的經濟是完全不同的,
08:32
everyone knows that.
208
512260
2000
大家都知道這一點,
08:34
And they are judged, each country, on how they are doing.
209
514260
3000
所以每一個國家的表現,都是被單獨評估的。
08:37
So let me show the wider picture.
210
517260
3000
所以我們來看看宏觀的圖表,
08:40
My country, Sweden:
211
520260
3000
我的國家,瑞典:
08:43
1800, we were up there.
212
523260
3000
1800年的時候,我們在這上面,
08:46
What a strange personality disorder we must have,
213
526260
3000
我們國家的個性真的很奇怪,
08:49
counting the children so meticulously in spite of a high child death rate.
214
529260
3000
儘管我們精心統計小孩的出生數字,卻還有這麼高的孩童死亡率,
08:52
It's very strange. It's sort of embarrassing.
215
532260
3000
這真的很奇怪,我都有點不好意思了。
08:55
But we had that habit in Sweden, you know,
216
535260
2000
但我們瑞典人就是有這種習慣,
08:57
that we counted all the child deaths,
217
537260
2000
我們會計算孩童的死亡率,
08:59
even if we didn't do anything about it.
218
539260
2000
但卻也沒做什麼事來改善這個狀況。
09:01
And then, you see, these were famine years.
219
541260
2000
接下來,你們看看,這幾年鬧饑荒,
09:03
These were bad years, and people got fed up with Sweden.
220
543260
2000
生活不好過,人們追求自由,
09:05
My ancestors moved to the United States.
221
545260
3000
所以我的祖先搬到了美國。
09:08
And eventually, soon they started to get better and better here.
222
548260
3000
最後,很快地,死亡率下降得愈來愈快,
09:11
And here we got better education, and we got health service,
223
551260
3000
到了這裡,我們有更好的教育制度、醫療保健,
09:14
and child mortality came down.
224
554260
2000
孩童死亡率就下降到這裡。
09:16
We never had a war; Sweden was in peace all this time.
225
556260
3000
瑞典從來沒有發生過戰爭,一直都處於和平狀態,
09:19
But look, the rate of lowering
226
559260
2000
但是你看,瑞典孩童死亡率
09:21
in Sweden
227
561260
2000
下降的速度
09:23
was not fast.
228
563260
2000
並沒有那麼快,
09:25
Sweden achieved a low child mortality
229
565260
3000
瑞典之所以會讓孩童死亡率降到這麼低,
09:28
because we started early.
230
568260
3000
只是因為我們起步得很早。
09:31
We had primary school actually
231
571260
2000
我們的小學教育
09:33
started in 1842.
232
573260
2000
是在1842年開始的,
09:35
And then you get that wonderful effect
233
575260
2000
所以在一個世代以後,
09:37
when we got female literacy
234
577260
2000
我們才看到婦女讀寫能力
09:39
one generation later.
235
579260
2000
大幅度提升所帶來的好處。
09:41
You have to realize that the investments we do in progress
236
581260
3000
各位必須瞭解,為國家進步發展而投入的投資,
09:44
are long-term investments.
237
584260
2000
將是一段漫長的投資,
09:46
It's not about just five years --
238
586260
2000
不是短短五年的投資,
09:48
it's long-term investments.
239
588260
2000
而是更長遠的投資。
09:50
And Sweden never reached [the] Millennium Development Goal rate,
240
590260
3000
瑞典從來沒有達到千禧發展目標所要求的水準,
09:53
3.1 percent when I calculated.
241
593260
2000
我計算了一下,只有3.1%。
09:55
So we are off track -- that's what Sweden is.
242
595260
3000
所以我們不合格,哈!這就是瑞典。
09:58
But you don't talk about it so much.
243
598260
2000
不過不要告訴別人。
10:00
We want others to be better than we were, and indeed, others have been better.
244
600260
3000
我們希望其他國家能有更好的表現,而其他國家也真的有更好的表現,
10:03
Let me show you Thailand,
245
603260
2000
我們來看看泰國,
10:05
see what a success story, Thailand from the 1960s --
246
605260
2000
看看他們成功的故事,泰國從1960年代
10:07
how they went down here
247
607260
2000
下降到這裡,
10:09
and reached almost the same child mortality levels as Sweden.
248
609260
3000
他們的孩童死亡率幾乎和瑞典一樣。
10:12
And I'll give you another story -- Egypt,
249
612260
3000
還有另一個例子,埃及,
10:15
the most hidden, glorious success in public health.
250
615260
3000
他們在公衛領域的成就是最突出的,但也最不為人知。
10:18
Egypt was up here in 1960,
251
618260
2000
埃及在1960年代的時候是在這上面,
10:20
higher than Congo.
252
620260
2000
比剛果還要高,
10:22
The Nile Delta was a misery for children
253
622260
3000
尼羅河三角洲附近的孩童,
10:25
with diarrheal disease
254
625260
2000
深受腹瀉、瘧疾
10:27
and malaria and a lot of problems.
255
627260
2000
和其他疾病困擾。
10:29
And then they got the Aswan Dam. They got electricity in their homes,
256
629260
3000
後來他們建了亞斯望水庫,每個人家裡都有電力,
10:32
they increased education
257
632260
2000
教育水準提升,
10:34
and they got primary health care.
258
634260
2000
也有了基礎的醫療體系,
10:36
And down they went, you know.
259
636260
2000
所以死亡率就下降了。
10:38
And they got safer water, they eradicated malaria.
260
638260
3000
他們的飲用水更為清潔,瘧疾也絕跡了,
10:41
And isn't it a success story.
261
641260
2000
這真的是一個成功的典範,
10:43
Millennium Development Goal rates for child mortality
262
643260
3000
讓我們看到千禧發展目標所訂的孩童死亡率,
10:46
is fully possible.
263
646260
2000
是完全有可能達到的。
10:48
And the good thing is
264
648260
2000
好消息是,
10:50
that Ghana today is going with the same rate
265
650260
2000
迦納現在也以和埃及一樣快的速度
10:52
as Egypt did at its fastest.
266
652260
3000
降低孩童的死亡率;
10:55
Kenya is now speeding up.
267
655260
2000
肯亞正在加速追趕。
10:57
Here we have a problem.
268
657260
2000
但我們有個問題,
10:59
We have a severe problem in countries which are at a standstill.
269
659260
3000
有些國家的死亡率仍維持在相同的水準,這是嚴重的問題。
11:03
Now, let me now bring you to a wider picture,
270
663260
3000
現在,我讓各位看看一張更宏觀的圖表,
11:06
a wider picture of child mortality.
271
666260
2000
有關孩童死亡率的圖表,
11:08
I'm going to show you the relationship
272
668260
2000
我要讓各位知道,在這個軸上的
11:10
between child mortality on this axis here --
273
670260
3000
孩童死亡率,
11:13
this axis here is child mortality --
274
673260
3000
這個軸是孩童死亡率,
11:16
and here I have the family size.
275
676260
3000
和家庭人數多寡之間的關係,
11:19
The relationship between child mortality and family size.
276
679260
2000
也就是孩童死亡率和家中小孩數之間的關係。
11:21
One, two, three, four children per woman:
277
681260
2000
一、二、三、四,這是每位婦女所生的小孩數,
11:23
six, seven, eight children per woman.
278
683260
2000
還有人生了六、七、八個小孩。
11:25
This is, once again, 1960 --
279
685260
2000
我們再來看看1960年代,
11:27
50 years ago.
280
687260
2000
也就是50年前,
11:29
Each bubble is a country --
281
689260
2000
每一個圓點代表一個國家,
11:31
the color, you can see, a continent.
282
691260
2000
顏色則代表該國所處的大陸,
11:33
The dark blue here is sub-Saharan Africa.
283
693260
2000
像是深藍色就代表撒哈拉沙漠以南非洲,
11:35
And the size of the bubble is the population.
284
695260
3000
圓點的大小代表該國的人口數。
11:39
And these are
285
699260
2000
這些是
11:41
the so-called "developing" countries.
286
701260
2000
大家眼中的「開發中國家」,
11:43
They had high, or very high, child mortality
287
703260
3000
他們的孩童死亡率非常高,
11:46
and family size, six to eight.
288
706260
3000
家中小孩有六到八個。
11:49
And the ones over there,
289
709260
2000
在這裡的這些國家,
11:51
they were so-called Western countries.
290
711260
2000
則是一般人眼中的西方國家,
11:53
They had low child mortality
291
713260
2000
孩童死亡率很低,
11:55
and small families.
292
715260
2000
小孩人數也很少。
11:57
What has happened?
293
717260
2000
這是怎麼一回事?
11:59
What I want you [to do] now is to see with your own eyes
294
719260
3000
我要你們親眼看看
12:02
the relation between fall in child mortality
295
722260
3000
孩童死亡率的下降,
12:05
and decrease in family size.
296
725260
3000
是和家中小孩數減少有關的。
12:08
I just want not to have any room for doubt --
297
728260
2000
我要你們每一個人
12:10
you have to see that for yourself.
298
730260
2000
都親眼看看這張圖的變化,
12:12
This is what happened. Now I start the world.
299
732260
3000
就是這麼一回事。現在,世界在改變,
12:15
Here we come down with the eradication of
300
735260
2000
教育水準提升了,
12:17
smallpox, better education,
301
737260
2000
天花也不見了,教育水準
12:19
health service.
302
739260
2000
和醫療體系都提升了,
12:21
It got down there -- China comes into the Western box here.
303
741260
3000
大家都下降到這裡了,現在中國擠進西方國家框框裡了,
12:24
And here Brazil is in the Western Box.
304
744260
2000
巴西也加入了,
12:26
India is approaching. The first African countries coming into the Western box,
305
746260
3000
印度就快進來了,有一個非洲國家也進到了這個區塊,
12:29
and we get a lot a new neighbors.
306
749260
2000
我們一下子多了好多新鄰居,
12:31
Welcome to a decent life.
307
751260
2000
歡迎大家一起提升生活品質,
12:33
Come on. We want everyone down there.
308
753260
2000
來吧!每個人都下來這裡吧!
12:35
This is the vision we have, isn't it.
309
755260
2000
這是我們的夢想,不是嗎?
12:37
And look now, the first African countries here are coming in.
310
757260
3000
看看,首次有非洲國家進到這個區塊了,
12:40
There we are today.
311
760260
2000
這就是現在這個世界的樣子。
12:43
There is no such thing
312
763260
2000
根本沒有什麼
12:45
as a "Western world" and "developing world."
313
765260
2000
「西方國家」和「開發中國家」的差別。
12:47
This is the report from [the] U.N.,
314
767260
2000
這一份是聯合國的報告,
12:49
which came out on Friday.
315
769260
2000
星期五才剛出刊的,
12:51
It's very good -- "Levels and Trends in Child Mortality" --
316
771260
3000
這份報告非常棒:「孩童死亡率及其趨勢」,
12:54
except this page.
317
774260
2000
除了這一頁以外。
12:56
This page is very bad;
318
776260
2000
這一頁很糟,
12:58
it's a categorization of countries.
319
778260
3000
它把國家做了分類,
13:01
It labels "developing countries," -- I can read from the list here --
320
781260
3000
標題是「開發中國家」--我可以把名單讀出來,
13:04
developing countries: Republic of Korea -- South Korea.
321
784260
3000
開發中國家:南韓...
13:07
Huh?
322
787260
2000
啊?
13:09
They get Samsung, how can they be [a] developing country?
323
789260
3000
他們有三星這種大公司,怎麼可能是開發中國家?
13:12
They have here Singapore.
324
792260
2000
還有,新加坡...
13:14
They have the lowest child mortality in the world, Singapore.
325
794260
2000
新加坡的孩童死亡率可是全世界最低的耶!
13:16
They bypassed Sweden five years ago,
326
796260
2000
他們在五年前就超越了瑞典,
13:18
and they are labeled a developing country.
327
798260
2000
竟然還只是開發中國家?
13:20
They have here Qatar.
328
800260
2000
卡達也在名單上,
13:22
It's the richest country in the world with Al Jazeera.
329
802260
2000
卡達可是全世界最有錢的國家耶...他們還擁有半島電視台耶!
13:24
How the heck could they be [a] developing country?
330
804260
2000
卡達怎麼會是開發中國家?
13:26
This is crap.
331
806260
2000
這簡直胡說八道!
13:28
(Applause)
332
808260
3000
(掌聲)
13:31
The rest here is good -- the rest is good.
333
811260
2000
報告的其他部分都很好,都很好。
13:33
We have to have a modern concept,
334
813260
2000
我們的觀念應該要跟得上時代,
13:35
which fits to the data.
335
815260
2000
才能讀得懂這些資料。
13:37
And we have to realize
336
817260
2000
我們必須瞭解,
13:39
that we are all going to into this, down to here.
337
819260
3000
所有的國家都應該下降到這個水準,
13:42
What is the importance now with the relations here.
338
822260
3000
重要的是要瞭解其中的關係。
13:45
Look -- even if we look in Africa --
339
825260
2000
看看,即使我們把焦點放在非洲,
13:47
these are the African countries.
340
827260
2000
這些就是非洲國家,
13:49
You can clearly see the relation with falling child mortality
341
829260
3000
你還是可以清楚地看到,在孩童死亡率下降的同時,
13:52
and decreasing family size,
342
832260
2000
家中小孩數也在減少,
13:54
even within Africa.
343
834260
2000
就算在非洲也一樣,
13:56
It's very clear that this is what happens.
344
836260
2000
這是一個很明顯的事實。
13:58
And a very important piece of research came out on Friday
345
838260
3000
西雅圖的健康評估機構在星期五
14:01
from the Institute of Health Metrics and Evaluation in Seattle
346
841260
4000
發表了一篇很重要的研究報告,
14:05
showing that almost 50 percent
347
845260
2000
他們指出,孩童死亡率之所以下降,
14:07
of the fall in child mortality
348
847260
2000
有一半可以歸功於
14:09
can be attributed to female education.
349
849260
3000
女性接受教育所帶來的影響。
14:12
That is, when we get girls in school,
350
852260
3000
也就是說,當我們把女孩們送到學校去,
14:15
we'll get an impact 15 to 20 years later,
351
855260
2000
15到20年後,我們就會看到實際的效用發生,
14:17
which is a secular trend which is very strong.
352
857260
3000
這種影響的效用是很強烈的。
14:20
That's why we must have that long-term perspective,
353
860260
3000
所以我們得把眼光放遠,
14:23
but we must measure the impact
354
863260
2000
至少要以十年
14:25
over 10-year periods.
355
865260
2000
做為衡量的區間。
14:27
It's fully possible
356
867260
2000
要讓這些國家的
14:29
to get child mortality down in all of these countries
357
869260
2000
孩童死亡率下降,是絕對可能的,
14:31
and to get them down in the corner
358
871260
2000
他們一定能下降到這個角落,
14:33
where we all would like to live together.
359
873260
3000
達到和其他國家一樣的水準。
14:37
And of course, lowering child mortality
360
877260
3000
當然,從人道主義的觀點來看,
14:40
is a matter of utmost importance
361
880260
3000
孩童死亡率的降低
14:43
from humanitarian aspects.
362
883260
2000
有其絕對的重要性,
14:45
It's a decent life for children,
363
885260
2000
我們所談的,
14:47
we are talking about.
364
887260
2000
是要保障孩童基本的生活品質。
14:49
But it is also a strategic investment
365
889260
3000
這當然也算是我們全體人類
14:52
in the future of all mankind,
366
892260
2000
對未來的重要策略性投資,
14:54
because it's about the environment.
367
894260
3000
因為這攸關環境的現況。
14:57
We will not be able to manage the environment
368
897260
2000
如果我們不能控制全世界的人口成長,
14:59
and avoid the terrible climate crisis
369
899260
2000
我們就無法保有良好的環境,
15:01
if we don't stabilize the world population.
370
901260
2000
也就無法避免可怕的氣候變遷,
15:03
Let's be clear about that.
371
903260
2000
我們一定得清楚瞭解這一點。
15:05
And the way to do that,
372
905260
2000
要達到這個目標,
15:07
that is to get child mortality down, get access to family planning
373
907260
3000
首先我們得降低孩童死亡率,提倡家庭計畫,
15:10
and behind that drive female education.
374
910260
3000
而且讓女性接受教育,
15:13
And that is fully possible. Let's do it.
375
913260
2000
我們絕對有可能辦到,就這麼辦吧!
15:15
Thank you very much.
376
915260
2000
謝謝各位!
15:17
(Applause)
