Lets TalkScriptToday Ill be presenting a report on our findings on the condition of the worlds population. It may be a surprise to you that half the people in the world live on

51、less than two dollars a day, and one billion people live on less than one dollar a day.Im going to look at poverty and its relationship to population issues. We must work fast if we hope to reduce poverty by half, by the year 2015.Our survey shows that the first step should be to improve health-care

52、 systems. In the world poorest countries, people are expected to live just 49 years. One in ten children doesnt reach his or her first birthday. According to our study, poor health and poverty are linked. Women are affected most by poor-care systems, especially pregnant women.The second job we have

53、to do, as many of you can guess, is to reduce birth rates. We have found that when given a choice, poor people in developing countries have fewer children than their parents dis. A possible reason for this is probably that smaller families have fewer expenses and more chances of increasing their ear

Obviously we must encourage family planning and lower birth rates.Now, here is the third measure we must take: promote

55、education in developing countries. Investing in education, especially for women, can reduce poverty. Educated women have more opportunities to work and a chance to live better. Moreover, they tend to send their children to food schools so that they can climb the social ladder.Well, any questions? No
