hey guys what's up it's Charlie here and today we're going to be looking at what
if the world were 100 people today the world's population is a whopping 7.5
billion but what if we condense that down to only 100 people it's very hard
to visualize how we all compare to one another around the globe but if we
shrink the world down to only 100 people we see how the world really works and
how unequal it is but before we get into it why not subscribe and press the
notification bell - the first thing we should look at is nationality if the
world were only 100 people where would those 100 people be from most people
would be from Asia that being 61 people 13 people would be from Africa 13 people
would be from North and South America 12 people would be from Europe and only one
person would be from Oceania but how about age if the world was shrunk down
to a hundred people how old would those people be it's impossible to break it
down exactly age by age but out of 100 people 70 would be adults and 30 of
those 100 people in the world would be children this is because in many parts
of the world today we have a shrinking population certain areas are growing
their population at crazy rates but some areas have way too many old people
compared to young people so that's why if the world were a hundred people
seventy of those people would be adults and 30 would be kids now if the world
were only a hundred people what gender would those people be well most people
would be women 52 out of 100 people would be women and 48 would be
man that's because in the world there are actually slightly more women than
men next let's look at what language these 100 people would speak it would be
a very lonely world if there was only 100 people and it would be made even
more lonely seeing as these people speak many different languages the most common
language would be Chinese with 17 people speaking it then nine people would speak
English eight people would speak Hindi six
people would speak Spanish and six people would speak Russian four people
would speak Arabic and then 50 people would speak various other
images from around the world so if the world were just 100 people there would
be 50 people who could only talk to themselves I see most people watching
this speak English but that means you'd only be able to speak to 8 other people
in the world so if the world was only a hundred people I suggest you learn
Chinese so you can speak to 17 extra people next up let's look at the
literacy of our world if we were only 100 people if the world were a hundred
people 86 of those people would be able to read but 14 of those people couldn't
read this really shows the inequality of our world just imagine if there was only
a hundred people and 14 couldn't read it really doesn't seem right that all these
people are unable to read when most other people are but sadly in the world
we live in today that is the case in various poor countries which don't have
access to schools now let's look at the world's religions if we were only 100
people despite there only being a hundred people in our fictional world
there's actually a lot of religions the most common one is fresh tea aniseed
we're 33 people would be Christian then 24 people at would be atheists or have
another religion which I can't name on this video then 19 of those people would
be Muslim 13 would be Hindu and six would be Buddhist and five people would
believe there are spirits in all natures this really shows how diverse our world
is even if it was just 100 people next let's look at something more serious in
our world of a hundred people that is how much freedom do we have in our world
of a hundred people fifty two of those people have freedom but that means a
whopping 48 people actually have no freedom what I mean by this is that they
can't speak freely without the fear of imprisonment or worse this really shows
how scary can be in some countries for people simply to express themselves
something you likely do on Twitter or in the coffee shop every day some people
can't do whatsoever without being in prison sadly many countries around the
world have very bad freedom of speech laws of course it's good 52 people out
of our 100 do have freedom but seeing that nearly half of the people in our
world have no freedom it's a really scary fact about the world
living today next let's look at money you often hear about how unequal our
world is when it comes to money but when you look at the world has only 100
people this really really visualizes it well if the world for just a hundred
people six of those people would own fifty nine percent of all the world's
wealth and amazingly those people would all be from the USA then seventy-four
percent of people would own 39 percent of all the wealth and finally 20 percent
of people would share only 2% of the world's wealth
this really shows how massively unfair the world is when it comes to money a
tiny amount of people have the biggest amount they're the large amount of
people have the least amount and then there's a big chunk of people just stuck
in the middle now let's look at what you may be using currently a computer if you
go into Starbucks everyone seems to have a MacBook and I'm sure even your
grandparents have some old clunky PC in their home but if the world were only a
hundred people only seven people would have a computer that's right 93 people
would not have a computer whatsoever if the world was a hundred people this
really goes to show how few people actually have access to computers in the
world we have to remember that in developing countries computers are still
few and far between so think about that mind-boggling fact next time you walk
into an Apple Store next up let's look at how safe our world is if our world
was only a hundred people 20 of those people would live in fear that fright 20
people would be in real fear of landmines
being taken and groups coming to take their lives or other military
bombardments but luckily 80 people if our world was
only a hundred people word not this goes to show that a huge amount of people in
the world to do live in very real fear of these terrible things happening many
countries are in several conflicts right now of course it's good that 80 people
would be safe in the world but it also goes to show the world's inequalities
that 20 people do live in fear and a very unsafe now let's look into
education how educated is our world if we were just 100 people if you live in a
developed country chances are a huge amount of people you know went to
college but if our world were only 100 people only one person would have a
college education the remaining 99% would not be
college-educated now this doesn't mean our world would
necessarily be dumb but when it really does show is a massive inequality in our
world such a tiny amount of people actually have the opportunity to go to
college and get an education but on the plus side only one person in our world
would have massive student loan debt now let's look at electricity so we know
that most people in our world of 100 people don't own computers but do they
even have basic electricity well in our world 76 people would have electricity
but a massive 24 people would not that's right if the world were just a hundred
people 24 of those people would not even have light bulbs to turn on that's kind
of scary and again points out how unequal our world really is now let's
look up at our air if you live in the countryside you may think that when you
go into the city you have bad air but if you live in a developed country chances
are it's not actually that bad if the world was a hundred people 68 people
would breathe clean air but thirty two out of a hundred people would be
breathing unclean air this just goes to show how incredibly polluted large areas
of our planet really are in some cities in China and India just living in them
is equal to smoking 100 cigarettes every single day that's because their air
quality is so low and polluted but if the world was just a hundred people
would you be able to get a drink of water again if this is something many
people in the developed world take for granted we take long showers swimming
pools and if you're English drink lots and lots of tea well in our
world of a hundred people eighty three people would have clean safe water but
17 people would have unsafe undrinkable water fishery shows how poor some parts
of our world are and it also shows my charities which provide clean safe water
are essential in our world today and finally in our world of a hundred people
let's look at food this is a fact I'm sure many people will find very
troubling if the world were a hundred people fifty people would not have
access to a regular supply of food then 30 people would always have enough food
to eat 20 people would be malnourished and not
have enough food 15 people would actually be overweight and have too much
food and one person would be actively passing away because of starvation it's
so crazy that in our world of a hundred people fifty people don't have a regular
reliable source of food it really goes to show how this not enough food going
around in some parts of the world but in other parts there's too much food and
people are overweight so now you can visualize how our world works by looking
at it as if it were only 100 people it shows our world is good and some people
have great lives but it also shows there are massive inequalities in our world
today be sure to vote in the poll on the top
right corner to vote for the most amazing fact on this list for me I think
it's computers as I couldn't believe so few people in the world have them if you
