The world’s population

If the world’s population was reduced to a village of precisely 100 people this is what it would look like. There would be 60 Asians, 14 Africans, 12 Europeans, 8 Latin Americans, 5 from the USA and Canada and 1 from the South Pacific. 51 would be male, 49 would be female. 82 would be non-white; 18 white.  Only one would have a college education and only 7 would have access to the Internet. 67 would not be able to read. 50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation. That’s over half the people in the village who are hungry all the time. Now imagine those figures with the world’s true population. It makes you think.
