● In the last 50 years, the planet's population has doubled.
According to the United
Nations and Statistics Times, the world's population in 2024 is 8.2 billion, up from 4
billion in 1974. Annually, about 140 million children are born worldwide.
● To understand more about these 8 billion people, if you conducted a nonstop 10-minute
interview with each individual, it would take approximately 152,000 years, which is
obviously impossible for a human. But we’ll try to learn about a maximum of these 8
billion people in this video. So, let’s shrink the entire world’s population to 100 people
and keep our 100 people as the real world’s population.
● In a world population of 100 people, the gender distribution would be equal, with 50 men
and 50 women.
Most of these people would be Young :
● 26 people would be under 15 years old.
● 16 people would be aged 15-24.
● 41 people would be aged 25-54.
● 9 people would be aged 55-64.
● and 8 people would be 65 years or older. This distribution reflects global aging trends,
with increasing median ages due to lower birth rates and higher life expectancy.
Most of these people would living in asia like:
● 59 would be from Asia.
● 17 would be from Africa.
● 10 would be from Europe.
● 8 would be from Latin America and the Caribbean.
● 5 would be from North America.
● and 1 would be from Oceania (including Australia and the Pacific islands).
● To reflect the current global urbanization trends. The geographical distribution of these
100 people would include 40 living in urban areas, 30 in rural settings, 20 in coastal
regions, and 10 in mountainous areas.
● To Distribute the population of these people, on the bases of country would be:

●
If we represent global wealth distribution in a population of 100 people, it typically looks like :
● 1 person would own more than 50% of the world's wealth.
● 6 people would share approximately 50% of the world's wealth (which includes the
wealth of the first person).
● 13 people would own about 40% of the world's wealth (totaling 90% for these 13).
● 30 people would own around 10% of the world's wealth.
● 50 people would have very little, sharing just about 1% of the world's wealth.
●

If the world’s population were 100 people:
