The world is a mighty big place. So big, in fact, it’s hard for most people to realize just what it’s like. It’s estimated that there are more than 7 billion people in the world. Any statistics you see about the world are probably so big in size and scope it’s difficult to wrap your mind around.
That’s why these helpful statistics were created. Imagine the world was populated by only 100 people. This is what it would look like in a variety of ways.
The number of people on each continent: 11 Europe, 5 North America, 9 South America, 15 Africa, 60 Asia
Where people would live: 49 live in rural areas, 51 live in urban areas
What language they would speak: 12 Chinese, 5 Spanish, 5 English, 3 Arabic, 3 Hindi, 3 Bengali, 3 Portuguese, 2 Russian, 2 Japanese, 62 Other
How many people have houses: 77 have shelter, 23 do not
The worldwide nutrition: 21 Overweight, 63 Average, 15 Undernourished, 1 Starving
Their level of poverty: 48 live on less than 2 US dollars per day
How many people have access to water: 87 have safe water, 13 do not
