Summary of the World

(Source Unknown)

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

There would be 57 Asians, 21 Europeans, 14 from the Western Hemisphere, including North and South America, and eight from Africa.

Fifty-one would be female, and 49 would be male.

Sixty-six would be non-Christian and 33 would be Christian.

Eighty would live in substandard housing.

Seventy would be unable to read.

Half would suffer from malnutrition.

Only one would have a college education.

Half of the entire village's wealth would be in the hands of only six people, and all six would be citizens of the United States.
