What really impressed me about dr. Rosling in this video is that he manages to present this information in a way that is both entertaining and easy to understand. He also raises a very valid point; one cannot devise solutions to any problems big or small if one doesn't have the necessary information.
www.gapminder.org, as mentioned in the video. It also has some further reading and videos.
