World in the Balance

Part 2 showcases China as the fastest growing economy in world history, with a large middle class reaching out for the good life, with the motor-car on the list of 'must-haves'. There is concern that as China becomes increasingly affluent, it will over-take the U.S. to become the world's worst polluter, resulting in an environmental nightmare.

  • "It took all of history until the year 1804 for humanity's population to reach its first billion. Now a billion new people are added every dozen years. In the industrialised world birth rates are falling steeply while the senior citizen population is booming. This two-part documentary series explores these and other trends in the relationship between people and the planet."@en
  • "In part 2, the program explores Chins's hyperactive economy, which is the fastest growing in the history of the world. As the sprawling country develops from a poor nation and aspires to a more middle-class life style, China's air, land and water are beginning to suffer. The prospect that all Chinese will strive to live like middle-class Americans is daunting since it has been calculated that if all the world's people had a western standard of living, two or more planets the size of Earth would be needed to support them. But one planet is all there, and this program shows that it will take our best scientific and technological efforts to make this one do for all its inhabitants - present and future."

  • "Part 1. Investigates three countries where social and economic forces have produced starkly different population profiles. In India, women still bear an average of three to four children. Within a few decades, the country will overtake China as the world's most populous nation. While India's population pyramid has the classic shape of a triangle resting on a wide base with large numbers of youth at the bottom and a small number of elderly at the top Japan's population pyramid is shifting to look like a triangle standing on its head -- pt.2. Takes the pulse of China's hyperactive economy, which is the fastest-growing economy in the history of the world. During the last two decades, China clamped down on its population growth through its controversial one-child policy, but in recent years it has relaxed those rules, moving in the direction of more reproductive freedom. As the sprawling country develops from a poor nation and aspires to a more middle-class lifestyle, China's air, land and water are beginning to suffer."

Includes selected archival footage, and comments from international experts on human geography, climatology and the environment ; Part 1 examines the demographies of India, Japan and Sub-Saharan Africa; and compares them with others. Illustrates the world careening in two very different directions, with 'youthful' developing nations reeling from rapid growth, while many 'old' industrial ones grapple with declining numbers. Challenges the world to mobilise human skills, incomes and wealth to help shift the imbalance onto a path of shared prosperity, in a world of shared environmental sustainability ; Part 2 showcases China as the fastest growing economy in world history, with a large middle class reaching out for the good life, with the motor-car on the list of 'must-haves'.
