The chart compares population shares in various regions of the world with the distribution of
wealth in these same regions.
· It can be seen that population shares in almost all cases do not relate to the distribution
of wealth.
· North America has only approximately 6% of the world’s population but it has 34% of
global wealth.
· Similarly, Europe has 15% of the global population but almost double of that number on
global wealth.
· On the other hand, the total wealth of people in China, India, Africa, Latin America and
the Caribbean, and the other poor countries in Asia-Pacific is far less than their shares of the
world population.
