Worldly Facts

The population of the earth is around 7+ billion. For most people, that is a large figure. However if we condensed 7.8 billion into 100 persons, the resulting analysis is much easier to comprehend.



Out of 100 :


11 are in Europe,  

are in North America

are in South America, 

15 are in Africa

60 are in Asia


49 live in the countryside

51 live in cities


75 have mobile phones

25 do not 


30 have internet access

70 have no availability to go online


received University education

93 did not attend college. 


83 can read

17 are illiterate


33 are Christians

22 are Muslims

14 re Hindus

7 are Buddhists

12 are other religions

12 have no religious beliefs


27 live less than 14 years

66 die between 15 and 64 years of age.

8 are 65 and over 


If you have your own home,

eat full meals and drink clean water,

have a mobile phone,

can surf the internet,

 and have gone to college ...

We are in the minuscule, privileged of less than 7%
