Many of you have seen circulating on the Internet or in newspapers a
breakdown of the world's population as a representative sample of 100. (In
case not, see below.) The piece says, among other things, of the 100 people
in the represenative global village, 70 would be illterate - that is, unable
to read. Can anyone confirm this, and/or provide a source? Thanks, ahead. SS
"If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100
people, there would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both N and S
8 Africans
52 females
48 males
70 non-white
30 white
70 non-Christian
30 Christian
80 heterosexual
11 homosexual
6 would possess 59% of the wealth-all would be from the US
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read (represents 2 billion people)
50 would be malnourished
1 would have a college education
1 would have a computer"

Thanks to Omie Shepherd for this quick answer to the mystery of who wrote
"If the world were a village..."
The source for "If the world were a village of 1000 people, it would
include:" is Meadows, Donella H., Earth Island Journal, Spring 1995.
Donella Meadows is an author and instructor at Dartmouth College in New
Hampshire (or she was at the time the article was published).
