Something interesting.

[capricious_chic]

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be non-white
30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth,
and all 6 would be from the United States.

80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer

How can somebody be near birth? Sounds like they are not born yet. So would that mean that there would only be 99 people at the start? Or would there be 100 with one of them being almost due and there soon to be 101 people?

Wonder which political/social concept this little village would develop to handle all these probs.

Sometimes shrinkage is not the worst thing...
