The first one is about vaccines of children.
The most important vaccine is the well-established measles vaccines, which is enormously important, especially for poor children that are malnourished, because for them, measles kill them.
Now, what is the proportion of all one-year-olds in the world that have got the measles vaccine?
Is it 2 out of 10, 5 out of 10, or 8 out of 10?
In other words, is it a smaller part of the kids, is it half of the kids, or is it most of the kids?
Half, you think?
Okay.
The next question is about the number of children in the world.
So it's nearly not about children.
It's about what young couples do in the bedroom.
Okay.
When I was born, 1948, there were less than one billion children below 15 years of age in the world.
Since then, it has more than doubled.
And at the turn of the century, there were two billion children in the world.
Now, the best projections we have from the population specialists in the United Nations, they have estimated how many children there will be in the world by the end of this century.
Do they say that the increase will continue so it will be 4 billion?
Do they say the increase will be slower and there will be 3 billions?
Or do they say, no, the number of children have stopped increasing.
There will only be 2 billion at the end of this century.
Thank you.
