Statistics
At least 80% of humanity lives on less
than $10 a day.
More than 80 percent of the world’s
population lives in countries where income differentials
are widening.
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.
According to UNICEF, 24,000 children die
each day due to poverty. And they “die quietly in some
of the poorest villages on earth, far removed from the
scrutiny and the conscience othe world. Being meek and
weak in life makes these dying multitudes even more
invisible in death.”
Around 27-28 percent of all children in developing
countries are estimated to be underweight or stunted.
The two regions that account for the bulk of the deficit
are South Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
If current
trends continue, the Millennium Development Goals target
of halving the proportion of underweight children will
be missed by 30 million children, largely because of
slow progress in Southern Asia and sub-Saharan Africa.
Based on enrolment data, about 72
million children of primary school age in the developing
world were not in school in 2005; 57 percent of them
were girls. And these are regarded as optimistic
numbers.
Nearly a billion people entered the 21st
century unable to read a book or sign their names.
Less than one per cent of what the world
spent every year on weapons was needed to put every
child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t
happen.
Infectious diseases continue to blight
the lives of the poor across the world. An estimated 40
million people are living with HIV/AIDS, with 3 million
deaths in 2004. Every year there are 350–500 million
cases of malaria, with 1 million fatalities: Africa
accounts for 90 percent of malarial deaths and African
children account for over 80 percent of malaria victims
worldwide.
Water problems affect half of humanity:
Some 1.1 billion people in developing countries
have inadequate access to water, and 2.6 billion
lack basic sanitation.
Almost two in three people lacking access to
clean water survive on less than $2 a day, with one
in three living on less than $1 a day.
More than 660 million people without sanitation
live on less than $2 a day, and more than 385
million on less than $1 a day.
Access to piped water into the household
averages about 85% for the wealthiest 20% of the
population, compared with 25% for the poorest 20%.
1.8 billion people who have access to a water
source within 1 kilometre, but not in their house or
yard, consume around 20 litres per day. In the
United Kingdom the average person uses more than 50
litres of water a day flushing toilets (where
average daily water usage is about 150 liters a day.
The highest average water use in the world is in the
US, at 600 liters day.)
Some 1.8 million child deaths each year as a
result of diarrhoea
The loss of 443 million school days each year
from water-related illness.
Close to half of all people in developing
countries suffering at any given time from a health
problem caused by water and sanitation deficits.
Millions of women spending several hours a day
collecting water.
To these human costs can be added the massive
economic waste associated with the water and
sanitation deficit.… The costs associated with
health spending, productivity losses and labour
diversions … are greatest in some of the poorest
countries. Sub-Saharan Africa loses about 5% of GDP,
or some $28.4 billion annually, a figure that
exceeds total aid flows and debt relief to the
region in 2003.
Number of children in the world
2.2 billion
Number in poverty
1 billion (every second child)
Shelter, safe water and health
For the 1.9 billion children from the developing
world, there are:
640 million without adequate shelter (1 in
3)
400 million with no access to safe water (1
in 5)
270 million with no access to health
services (1 in 7)
Children out of education worldwide
121 million
Survival for children
Worldwide,
10.6 million died in 2003 before they
reached the age of 5 (same as children
population in France, Germany, Greece and Italy)
1.4 million die each year from lack of
access to safe drinking water and adequate
sanitation
Health of children
Worldwide,
2.2 million children die each year because
they are not immunized
15 million children orphaned due to HIV/AIDS
(similar to the total children population in
Germany or United Kingdom)
Rural areas account for three in every four people
living on less than US$1 a day and a similar share of
the world population suffering from malnutrition.
However, urbanization is not synonymous with human
progress. Urban slum growth is outpacing urban growth by
a wide margin.
Approximately half the world’s population now live
in cities and towns. In 2005, one out of three urban
dwellers (approximately 1 billion people) was living in
slum conditions.
In developing countries some 2.5 billion people are
forced to rely on biomass—fuelwood, charcoal and animal
dung—to meet their energy needs for cooking. In
sub-Saharan Africa, over 80 percent of the population
depends on traditional biomass for cooking, as do over
half of the populations of India and China.
Indoor air pollution resulting from the use of solid
fuels [by poorer segments of society] is a major killer.
It claims the lives of 1.5 million people each year,
more than half of them below the age of five: that is
4000 deaths a day. To put this number in context, it
exceeds total deaths from malaria and rivals the number
of deaths from tuberculosis.
In 2005, the wealthiest 20% of the world accounted
for 76.6% of total private consumption. The poorest
fifth just 1.5%:
The poorest 10% accounted for just 0.5% and the
wealthiest 10% accounted for 59% of all the consumption:

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.
World gross domestic product (world population
approximately 6.5 billion) in 2006 was $48.2 trillion in
2006.
The world’s wealthiest countries (approximately
1 billion people) accounted for $36.6 trillion
dollars (76%).
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).
Low income countries (2.4 billion people)
accounted for just $1.6 trillion of GDP (3.3%)
Middle income countries (3 billion people) made
up the rest of GDP at just over $10 trillion
(20.7%).
The world’s low income countries (2.4 billion
people) account for just 2.4% of world exports.
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.
51 percent of the world’s 100 hundred wealthiest
bodies are corporations.
The wealthiest nation on Earth has the widest gap
between rich and poor of any industrialized nation.
The poorer the country, the more likely it is that
debt repayments are being extracted directly from people
who neither contracted the loans nor received any of the
money.
In 1960, the 20% of the world’s people in the
richest countries had 30 times the income of the poorest
20% — in 1997, 74 times as much.
An analysis of long-term
trends shows the distance between the richest and
poorest countries was about:
3 to 1 in 1820
11 to 1 in 1913
35 to 1 in 1950
44 to 1 in 1973
72 to 1 in 1992
“Approximately 790 million people in the
developing world are still chronically undernourished,
almost two-thirds of whom reside in Asia and the
Pacific.”Source
For economic growth and almost all of the other
indicators, the last 20 years [of the current form of
globalization, from 1980 - 2000] have shown a very clear
decline in progress as compared with the previous two
decades [1960 - 1980]. For each indicator, countries
were divided into five roughly equal groups, according
to what level the countries had achieved by the start of
the period (1960 or 1980). Among the findings:
Growth: The fall in economic growth rates was
most pronounced and across the board for all groups
or countries.
Life Expectancy: Progress in life expectancy was
also reduced for 4 out of the 5 groups of countries,
with the exception of the highest group (life
expectancy 69-76 years).
Infant and Child Mortality: Progress in reducing
infant mortality was also considerably slower during
the period of globalization (1980-1998) than over
the previous two decades.
Education and literacy: Progress in education
also slowed during the period of globalization.Source
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.
