If we could reduce the world’s population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all existing human ratios remaining the same, the demographics would look something like this:
60 Asians 12 Europeans 5 US Americans and Canadians 8 Latin Americans 14 Africans
49 would be female
51 would be male
82 would be non-white
18 white
89 heterosexual
11 homosexual
33 would be Christian
67 would be non-Christian
* 5 would control 32% of the entire world’s wealth, and all of them would be US citizens
* 80 would live in substandard housing
* 24 would not have any electricity
(And of the 76% that do have electricity, most would only use it for light at night.)
* 67 would be unable to read
# 1 (only one) would have a college education.
* 50 would be malnourished and 1 dying of starvation
* 33 would be without access to a safe water supply
* 1 would have HIV
* 1 near death
* 2 would be near birth
* 7 people would have access to the Internet
