Band 7+: The chart below gives information about global population percentages and distribution of wealth by region.

The bar chart depicts a collective data of the percentage of global population and wealth distributed across 8 distinctive regions. At a glance, the data reveals that the majority of wealth, approximately 90%, is heavily concentrated in three regions: North America, Europe, and high-income Asia-Pacific countries. These three groups represent just over a quarter of the world’s total population.

All three regions possess a staggering percentage of capital, exceeding their own population ratio proportion compared to other regions. With North America representing the second least global population, it withholds more than a third of the total wealth at 34%. Although Europe region hangs on to the second most wealth share, the rich Asia-Pacific have a much higher wealth to population ratio, averaging 5% of wealth allocated to every 1% of regional occupants.

In contrast to the three wealthiest regions, China, India, and other Asia-Pacific regions totals about 55% of the global populace, but only retains a mere 5% of shared wealth. Despite the disproportionate share of wealth around the world, Latin American and the Caribbean region is not as unfortunate, retaining more than 0.5% of wealth per 1% of the population.
