100 people

I’ve just stumbled across a fantastic site www.100people.org/

Apparently, if the world was populated by 100 people:

50 would be female
50 would be male
20 would be children
and of the 80 adults,
14 would be 65 and older

There would be:
61 Asians
12 Europeans
14 people from the Western Hemisphere
13 Africans

70 nonwhites
30 whites

There would be:
31 Christians
21 Muslims
14 Hindus
6 Buddhists
1 Jew

12 would believe in other religions
16 would be unaligned with a religion

There would be:
1 with a college education
1 with a computer

18 would be unable to read

17 would speak Chinese
8 would speak Hindustani
8 would speak English
7 would speak Spanish
4 would speak Arabic
4 would speak Russian
52 would speak other languages

80 would live in substandard housing

75 people would have a supply of food and a shelter
25 would not

1 would be dying of starvation
17 would suffer from malnutrition
15 would be overweight

83 would have access to safe drinking water
17 people would have no clean safe water to drink
