The World as 100 People
A brief look at the Earth’s population
![Page 2: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
What?
• If we could shrink the world’s population into a village of only 100 people, this is what the village would look like.
• As we go through this, think of it in terms of percentages as well.

57 people would be Asian
• The largest population concentrations on Earth are found in Asian countries
![Page 4: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
27 people would be Europeans
• The second largest concentration of people on Earth are found in the smallest land area
![Page 5: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
14 people would be from North and South America
COMBINED!• The largest land area is populated by only
14% of the Earth’s people.
• There is little chance of our country EVER becoming overpopulated!

8 people would be from Africa
• Though much of Africa offers inhospitable living conditions, it still hosts a very small population given its massive land area.

70 people would be non-white, 30 would be white
• Our Earth’s population is made up of 100s of different cultures and races.
• Together we make a colourful mosiac, one that’s hard to imagine in rural Canada.
![Page 8: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
70 people would be non-Christian, 30 would be Christian
• As with race, our religious beliefs are also varied
• Though Christianity is widespread, it is not the most popular religion on Earth!

50% of the Earth’s wealth would be in the hands of 6 people
• Some major corporations hold more wealth than the holdings of entire nations
• Can you think of some?
![Page 10: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Those 6 people would all be from the U.S.A
• Those major corporations who hold 50% of the world’s wealth are all located in the United States.
![Page 11: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
70 people would not know how to read
• Reading, and the opportunity to learn to read is something that, as Canadians, we consider a right, not a privilege.
• Most of the planet does not enjoy this right
![Page 12: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
80 people would live in sub-standard housing
• We take for granted our plumbing and electricity, our dry homes with built in heating systems.
• 80% of the planet does not enjoy these comforts
![Page 13: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
50 people would be malnourished
• Children in our nation are suffering from obesity while a huge population in other nations is starving.
• Something to think about….

11 people would be homosexual, 89 people would be heterosexual
• Roughly 10% of our Earth’s population is homosexual
• A good reason to erase homophobic language from our lexicon!
![Page 15: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
1 person would have a college/university degree
• Only 1% of the Earth’s population has access to a post-secondary education
![Page 16: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
1 person would own a computer
• Surprising, isn’t it? Most of us have at least one computer in our home, many of us have more!
![Page 17: The world as 100 people](https://reader034.vdocuments.mx/reader034/viewer/2022042602/559b92461a28ab7c2a8b45ee/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Consider this….
• When we examine our GLOBAL COMMUNITY in this way, it becomes clear that geography does not separate us from our human condition
• The need to adopt a peaceful and accepting attitude toward others is evident
• Remember the Golden Rule…
