Works Statistics and Life After 65.

Works Statistics and Life After 65.

The number one and main thing that should jump out at all of us who are seniors is the percent of people in the world that live to be over 65!

Meaning - If you are 65 or older and reading this, then you ARE one of a very few fortunate people!

THE EARTH’S POPULATION STATISTICS PUT INTO PERSPECTIVE:

The population of Earth at this minute is constantly changing, but it’s around 7.9 billion at this very second. Check it out @

World Population Clock: 7.95 Billion People (2022) - Worldometer (worldometers.info)

For most people, this is an unfathomable figure. However, if we condense that 7.9 billion into 100 persons, and then condense it further into various percentage statistics, the resulting analysis is relatively much easier to comprehend.

Out of ever 100 people:

11 are in Europe

5 are in North America

9 are in South America

15 are in Africa

60 are in Asia

49 live in the countryside

51 live in cities

75 have mobile phones

25 do not

30 have internet access

70 do not have the availability to go online

7 received university education

93 did not attend college.

83 can read

17 are illiterate.

33 are Christians

22 are Muslims

14 are Hindus

7 are Buddhists

12 are other religions

12 have no religious beliefs.

26 live less than 14 years

66 died between 15 - 64 years of age

8 are over 65 years old.

Think about this: If you live in your own home, are able to eat full meals & drink clean water, have a mobile phone, can surf the internet and went to college, you are in a miniscule percentage of the population and are a highly privileged person this day.

(This equates to being in the less than 7% category)

Amongst every 100 persons in the world - only 8 will live or exceed the age of 65!

If you are already over 65 years old - be content, grateful and thank God; cherish life, grasp every moment.

If you did not leave this world before the age of 64, like the 92 persons who did pass before you, you are truly blessed amongst mankind. Take good care of your own health. Cherish every remaining moment.
