Answer 1

Population and Development: Hans Rosling

Growth in the population should reach a limit of around 11 billion over the next hundred years, as the health outcomes of the world are equalized.
A ratio of approximately 2 parents to 2 kids still occurs in developed countries, and developing nations are getting closer and closer as their results in childhood health continue to improve. (And they have improved dramatically.) As a result of the equalization of health outcomes, low child mortality and family planning, family sizes are shrinking and population growth is slowing predictably.

After an explosion of births in the second half of the twentieth century, the number of children around the world has already risen to about 2 billion, and should remain there for at least the century, barring a major growth. Most of the population growth from here will be determined in the future by more 30-85-year-olds than now. (In other words, births are nicely leveling off, but population growth must always continue for a while as the current crop of children grows up and has 2 children each. We have a very young world at the moment.)

Modern Slavery: Kevin Bales

Slavery has evolved because it means cheaper labor, cheaper than former slaves, because there are no other opportunities for survival for the victims and because bribery allows it to happen.

One of the key elements to end slavery is raising awareness, education and combating police corruption. Victims need to learn through rehabilitation that they have rights and are not alone.
But rescuing victims raises issues of testimonial privacy for victims ' safety and lack of police officer training. If they are likely to find slaves in their daily routine, they must be given tools to identify them. In fact, rescue is not in itself a solution.
