Almost half the world — over three billion people — live on less than $2.50 a day.
The poorest 40 percent of the world’s population accounts for 5 percent of global income. The richest 20 percent accounts for three-quarters of world income.
Number of children in the world
2.2 billion
Number in poverty
1 billion (every second child)
1.6 billion people — a quarter of humanity — live without electricity:
The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined.
The world’s billionaires — just 497 people (approximately 0.000008% of the world’s population) — were worth $3.5 trillion (over 7% of world GDP).
The total wealth of the top 8.3 million people around the world “rose 8.2 percent to $30.8 trillion in 2004, giving them control of nearly a quarter of the world’s financial assets.”

In other words, about 0.13% of the world’s population controlled 25% of the world’s financial assets in 2004.
For every $1 in aid a developing country receives, over $25 is spent on debt repayment.
A mere 12 percent of the world’s population uses 85 percent of its water, and these 12 percent do not live in the Third World.

China and India account for over 40% of the world population.

India and China have had large impoverished populations for thousands of years.

Code:

Consider the global priorities in spending in 1998

Global Priority	$U.S. Billions
Cosmetics in the United States	                 8
Ice cream in Europe	                        11
Perfumes in Europe and the United States	12
Pet foods in Europe and the United States	17
Business entertainment in Japan	                35
Cigarettes in Europe	                        50
Alcoholic drinks in Europe	               105
Narcotics drugs in the world	               400
Military spending in the world	               780

Yeah! Guns, drugs and rock 'n roll!
