This Melanie Edwards keynote speech paints a picture of what it is like for the 4 billion people in the developing world who live without an official record of their existence and who are, in essence, invisible due to it.
The speaker, who is the founder and chief executive officer of Mobile Metrix, explains that without having an accurate public record of these people, there is no way to effectively combat the most pressing issues affecting them every day.
As who the speaker describes as the base of the pyramid, the people living in these regions cannot receive proper aid or resources until a more accurate census of their existence is documented. To radically change the standard of living for those living in urban shanty towns or rural poverty, proper demographics must be documented regarding where they live, how many live there and ultimately, who they are and what they need.
