The chart gives information about global population percentages and distribution of wealth by region

The bar chart compares the percentage of the global

population

and the distribution of

wealth

by region.

Overall

, in only three countries, the percentage of

wealth

exceeded that of the

population

- these regions are widely separated from each other.

Although

, in other countries, the proportions are significantly disparate. In terms of

population

, China has the highest percentage, accounting for just over 25% of the global

population

, followed by India, with around 15%. Africa and Europe each show about 10%,

while

North

America

Latin

America

and the Caribbean make up less than 10% of the total

population

. The Rich

Asia-Pacific

and Other

Asia-Pacific

regions have the smallest shares of

population

, both under 5%. When it comes to

wealth

distribution, North

America

holds the largest share at approximately 35%, albeit having a much smaller

population

. Europe and the Rich

Asia-Pacific

region follow, with nearly 30% and 25% of the global

wealth

, respectively.

In contrast

, regions with large populations

such

as China, India, and Africa have

wealth

shares under 5%. Other

Asia-Pacific

Latin

America

and the Caribbean

also

have relatively small shares of global

wealth

.
