It's A Small World After All

Remember the popular Walt Disney song from your childhood, "It's A Small World"?


Not anymore. In 2011, the world population has exploded past the 7 BILLION mark. That's a mighty big number to wrap your brain around, so we thought it would be interesting to put this into a different perspective we could all ponder.


Let's see what it would be like in A SMALL WORLD:


If you could fit the entire population of the world into a village consisting of 100 people, maintaining the proportions of all the people living on Earth, that village would consist of:
57 Asians

21 Europeans

14 Americans (North, Central and South)

8 Africans


There would be: 
52 women
48 men

30 Caucasians
70 non-Caucasians

30 Christians
70 non-Christians

89 heterosexuals
11 homosexuals 


6 people would possess 59% of the wealth and they would all come from the USA
80 would live in poverty

70 would be illiterate

50 would suffer from hunger and malnutrition

1 would be dying

1 would be being born

1 would own a computer 
1 (yes, only one) would have a university degree


Welcome to the world.
