Interesting statistics.

The current population of Earth is more than 7 billion. The statistics can tell us the numbers, the distribution, various races and other information about the population.

As the population is so large, a purely statistical report, for most of us, would not make meaningful sense. Therefore, someone has produced this set of statistical report condensing the 7 billion in the world into 100 persons and then into various percentage statistics. The resulting analysis is much easier to comprehend.

Out of 100 : 

(a) * 11 are in Europe * 5 are in North America * 9 are in South America *15 are in Africa * 60 are in Asia.  

(b) * 49 live in the countryside * 51 live in cities. 

(c) * 12 speak Chinese * 5 speak Spanish * 5 speak English * 3 speak Arabic * 3 speak Hindi * 3 speak Bengali * 3 speak Portuguese * 2 speak Russian * 62 speak their own language.  

(d) * 77 have their own houses * 23 have no place to live.

(e) * 21 are over-nourished * 63 can eat full * 15 are under-nourished * 1 ate the last meal but did not make it to the next meal.

(f) The daily cost of living for 48 is less than US $2.

(g) * 87 have clean drinking water * 13 either lack clean drinking water or have access to a water source that is polluted.

(h) * 75 have mobile phones * 25 do not.

(j) * 30 have internet access * 70 do not have conditions to go online.

(k)  * 7 received university education * 93 did not attend college.    

(l)  * 83 can read * 17 are illiterate.

(m)   * 26 live less than 14 years * 66 died between 15-64 years of age * 8 are over 65 years old.

If you have your own home, eat full meals and drink clean water, have a mobile phone, can surf the net and have gone to college, you have little reason to complain.

Among 100 persons in the world, only 8 can live or exceed the age of 65.

If you are over 65 years of age, be content and grateful.

Got up at 6, the chores and was ready by a half past 9. Ramesh and Appu had come by to clip the grass patch, clean up the interlocking tiles - paved on the courtyard - with high-pressure-water-jet, remove the weeds from all around and to augment soil, provide manure for the potted plants and the vegetable-garden-in-grow- bags, tended by Lekha and her assistant, Suma.

Participated in the Foundation's 484th session of the 'Aazhchakkoottam' (Weekly Interactions) which was an interesting lecture on 'Diabetics and Corona Environment' by Dr Sreejith Kumar between 1500-1600 hrs. It was an enlightening interaction!
