Gender: | If we could turn the population of the earth into a small community of 100 people , keeping the same proportions we have today it would be something like this... 61 Asians 12 Europeans 8 North Americans 5 South Americans and the Caribbean 13 Africans 1 from Oceania 50 women 50 men 47 live in an urban area 9 are disabled 33 Christians ( Catholic , Protestants , Orthodox , Anglicans , Other Christians ) 18 Muslims 14 Hindus 16 Non-Religious 6 Buddhists 13 Practice other religions 43 Live without basic sanitation 18 Live without an improved water source 6 own 59% of the entire wealth of the community 13 are hungry or malnourished 14 can't read 7 are educated at a secondary level 12 have a computer 3 have internet connection 1 adult aged 15-49 has HIV/AIDS The Village spend more than US$ 1.12 trillion on military expenditures and only US$ 100 billion on development aid. If you keep your food in a refrigerator, your clothes in a closet , if you have a bed to sleep in and a roof over your head you are richer than 75% of the entire world population. If you have a bank account , you're on of the 30 wealthiest people in the world. 18 people struggle to live on US$ 1.00 per day or less.... 53 people struggle to live on US$ 2.00 per day or less. APPRECIATE WHAT YOU HAVE , AND DO YOUR BEST FOR A BETTER WORLD. http://www.miniature-earth.com/index.html |

Gender: | sure highlights many issues we have yet to resolve... like increasing the ratio of women to men, haha seriously though, very interesting. I was under the assumption that there were slightly more f to m, but perhaps not significant enough to show up in full percentage points. "43 Live without basic sanitation" that one really gets to me, such a necessity for life... thanks for the info TALO |
