What If Only 100 People Existed on Earth?

what if only 100 people existed on earth?

Earth is a very complex place, we humans are many, we share this planet together, and it is often difficult to know everyone here and what their thoughts are. To understand things a little better, let's cut the number of people from 7.5 billion to 100 people, keeping this small world as close as possible to the real world.

By dividing the number on two sexes, half of these women and half men will become men. The majority of the continent will live with 59 people, while 16 live in Africa, 10 in Europe, 8 in North America, only 6 in Latin America, Only one poor in Australia and Oceania.

19 of these people will be Chinese citizens, 18 will belong to India, and we will have only 4 Americans, 3 Brazilians, 2 Russians, one German and the remainder of this "hundred" world; a total of 53 people will be citizens of the remaining countries Of 187 countries.

Age:

Nine people will range in age from 0-4 years, and 17 from 5 to 14 years old.  15 to 24 years old would be 16 people.And 16 to the last range between 25 and 34 years, and we have a total of 58 people under the age of 35.
20 people will be between 35 and 49, and there will also be 14 people aged between 50 and 64, and only 8 over the age of 65.

The language:

Speaking of the language, we will have 14 people who speak Mandarin, the most widely spoken language. Followed by English with a total of 13 people. We also have 9 people who speak Hindi, 8 people speak Spanish and 5 people speak Arabic.

We still have 51 people, who speak the remaining 7,000 languages.

The vast majority of the 100 community can read and write with a total of 86 people, and we have 14 illiterate people.

Clean drinking water reaches 92 people and the remaining eight suffer from lack of access to drinking water.

In terms of health, we have 62 healthy people, 11 malnourished people, and one person dying from hunger in every sense.

We also have 20 overweight people, eight of whom are obese.

In terms of housing, 21 people do not have adequate housing to protect them from climatic conditions. Only one person stays without a home and the other eighty have good housing.

Only 60 people have access to the latrines (not necessarily they own it), while the rest can not. Of the remaining 40, 15 have to spend their time outdoors.

We go back to live again, to remember that 54 people live in cities, and the remaining one hundred live rural life.

We also have in the "community" nine unemployed people, while there are 91 employees and outside the workforce.

One in 100 people suffer from AIDS or acquired immunodeficiency syndrome, and only five people have been infected with sexually transmitted diseases this year.

We also have 58 married people, 42 couples, with an average married age of 29 for women and 32 for men.

There are 15 people in this small community who smoke a tobacco product, and the rest do not consume tobacco at all. It is impressive that this percentage is the same as the percentage of people who own one type of vehicle (cars, trucks, etc.) .

Ninety percent of these people use the right hand.

As for education, there are 73 people who either have high school diplomas or are expected to graduate from them, while there are 27 people who do not have or are not expected to have secondary certificates, yet there are only 7 people with university degrees, They graduate from university or did not even attend. But this does not prevent most of them from owning mobile phones, as 80 people own at least one phone, which means that more people have mobile phones than they have latrines.

Even the Internet is far less common than mobile phones. A total of only 42 people can access the Internet, while the rest have no access to the world's largest source of information.

Of those with Internet access, 26 have Facebook accounts, 17 have YouTube accounts, and 4 also use Twitter at least once a month.

We now come to distribute wealth: we have 71 people who have a fortune under the $ 10,000 line, including 12 people living below the $ 2 a day line, and a wealth of 21 others ranging from $ 10,000 to $ 100,000, and the wealth of seven people exceeds $ 100,000 As well as less than one million.

In the end, we have only one person out of the community of 100, who has a wealth of more than $ 1 million. Not only that, but that person is much richer than we think in this comparison. This person alone has 50% of the world's wealth, Half of all the world's wealth, and the nine who come after it together have 35% of the world's wealth, which shows that 10% of people control 85% of the world's money. Next come 20 others who own 12% of the money.

This means that 70 people, the vast majority of the community of 100, own less than 3% of the world's money. In addition, there is one person who is a refugee and a displaced person from his home. There are two people named Mohammed; .

Finally, all these hundred live on Earth; our home, and in the next few years, who knows how the new distribution of this information will be?

At the end of the article we say that these figures are not hypothetical or even approximate, but real numbers, but we put them in a simplified way to estimate the value of information regardless of the large numbers, all the figures received are percentages of the global census and not only numbers in the community of one hundred people.
