GeographyOut of 100
If the world were 100 people, where would they live?
If the world's population in 2025 were just 100 people, how many would live in Asia, Africa, Europe, the Americas or Oceania? And how many in 1950, and by 2100?
Remember this
Out of 100 people in 2025, 59 live in Asia, 19 in Africa, 9 in Europe, 8 in Latin America, 5 in Northern America and not one in Oceania (0). In 1950, Europe had 22 and Africa 9. By 2100, Africa would have 37 (UN projection).
