I Bet You're in This Group

This sort of puts things in perspective! If the population of the Earth was reduced to that of a small town with 100 people, it would look something like this:

There would be:
52 women
48 men

57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 Americans (northern and southern)
8 Africans

70 people of color
30 Caucasians

Six people would own 59% of the whole world wealth and all of them will be from the United States of America.

80 would have bad living conditions
70 would be uneducated
50 underfed
1 would have a computer
1 (only one) will have higher education, (probably the one with the computer).

Also think about the following:

If there is a food in your fridge, you have shoes and clothes, you have bed and a roof, you are richer then 75% of the people in the world.

If you have a bank account, money in your wallet and some coins in the money- box, you belong to the 8% of the people on the world who are “well-to-do”.
