If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people, maintaining the proportions of all the people living on Earth, that village would consist of:
- 57 Asians
- 21 Europeans
- 14 Americans (North, Central and South)
- 8 Africans
- 52 women and 48 men
- 30 Caucasians and 70 non-Caucasians
- 30 Christians and 70 non-Christians
- 89 heterosexuals and
- 11 homosexuals
- 6 people would possess 59% of the wealth and they would all come from the USA
- 80 would live in poverty
- 70 would be illiterate
- 50 would suffer from hunger and malnutrition
- 1 would be dying
- 1 would be being born
- 1 would own a computer
- 1 (yes, only one) would have a university degree
This has been circulating in the Internet, but the lines are questionable, out of date, poorly-defined or badly-presented.
Asia: 4,298,723,000 (60.02%)
Africa: 1,110,635,000 (15.51%)
Americas: 972,005,000 (13.57%)
Europe: 742,452,000 (10.37%)
Oceania: 38,304,000 (0.53%)
World: 7,162,119,000 (100.00%)
So 60 Asians and only 10 Europeans.
According to the United Nations World Population Prospects document, the world population in the year 2000 consisted of 3,051,099,000 men and 3,005,616,000 women, which (with a little rounding) breaks down to50 men and 50 women in a population of 100.
something to think about…
