THE WHOLE WORLD AS 100 PEOPLE

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of 100
people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same,
it would look like this...

There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere (north and south)
8 Africans
*******************
52 would be female
48 would be male
******************
70 would be non-white
30 white
*******************
70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian
***********************
89 would be heterosexual
11 homosexual
*****************************
59% of the entire world's wealth would be in the hands of
only 6
people and all 6 would be citizens of the United States.
***************************
80 would live in substandard housing
****************************
70 would be unable to read
****************************
50 would suffer from malnutrition.
1 would be near death,
1 would be near birth
*********************
Only 1 would have a college education
Only 1 would own a computer

Feeling fortunate?
