+ If the world were a village of 100 people:
- 61 villagers would be Asian (of that, 20 would be Chinese and 17 would be Indian), 14 would be African,
- 11 would be European,
- 9 would be Latin or South American,
- 5 would be North American,
- none of the villagers would be from Australia, Oceania, or Antarctica.
- At least 18 villagers would be unable to read or write but 33 would have cellular phones and 16 would be online on the Internet.
- 27 villagers would be under 15 years of age and 7 would be over 64 years old.
- There would be an equal number of males and females.
- There would be 18 cars in the village.
- 63 villagers would have inadequate sanitation.
+ Out of the 100 people:
- 33 villagers would be Christians,
- 20 would be Muslims,
- 13 would be Hindus,
- 6 would be Buddhists,
- 2 would be atheists,
- 12 would be non-religious,
- and the remaining 14 would be members of other religions.
- 30 villagers would be unemployed or underemployed.
+ while of those 70 who would work,
- 28 would work in agriculture (primary sector),
- 14 would work in industry (secondary sector),
- and the remaining 28 would work in the service sector (tertiary sector).
- 53 villagers would live on less than two U.S. dollars a day,
- One villager would have AIDS,
- 26 villagers would smoke,
- and 14 villagers would be obese.
- By the end of a year, one villager would die and two new villagers would be born so thus the population would climb to 101.
