If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people, keeping the same proportions we have today, it would be something like this:
61 Asians
12 Europeans
14 Americans (from North and South America)
13 Africans
01 Australian (Oceania)
50 women
50 men
10 homosexuals
33 Christian (Catholics, Protestants and Orthodox)
18 Muslims
16 Hindus
16 non-religious
6 Buddhists
11 practice other religions
41 live without basic sanitation
16 live without an improved water source
6 people own 59% of the entire wealth of the community
13 hungry or malnourished
14 can’t read
7 educated at a secondary level
8 have a computer
4 have an internet connection
Of the village’s total annual expenditures of just over US$ 3,000,000 per
year:
US$ 181,000 is spent on weapons and warfare…
US$ 159,000 is spent on education…
US$ 132,000 is spent on health care.
If you keep your food in a refrigerator
And your clothes in a closet
If you have a roof over your head
And have a bed to sleep in
You are richer than 75% of the entire world population.
If you have a bank account you’re one of the 30 wealthiest people in the world.
25 struggle to live on US$ 1.00 per day or less…
47 struggle to live on US$ 2.00 per day or less.
