Born?
Every person alive was born somewhere by chance. If you want to explain to the young citizens of this planet the inequalities that exist nowadays, we recommend you to dive into the awesome data collected by Gapminder . Thanks to their data, you can also play this simple game: spin the globe and discover where are you born — your country is drawn at random, weighted by the real distribution of humanity. Most people live very differently from what we think.
7,975,000,000 people on Earth · each spin reflects real population proportions
