If the world were 100 people

December 31, 2009

An innovative info- graphic designer, Tony Ng, has published a series of posters depicting world statistics scaled to a population of 100 rather than the current 6 billion.  The project gives insight to world inequalities on a manageable scale, but nevertheless does not fail to shock.  Check out the complete set of posters for The World of 100 and Tony’s other projects here: http://www.toby-ng.com/graphic-design/the-world-of-100/

“If the world were a village of 100 people 48 can’t speak, act according to their faith and conscience due to harassment, imprisonment, torture or death and 50 can.”

“If the world were a village of 100 people 20 live in fear of death by bombardment, armed attack, landmines, or of rape or kidnapping by armed groups and 80 don’t.”

“If the world were a village of 100 people 1 has had a college education and 99 haven’t.”
