This article sends a message to the world of how the wealth distribution is unbalanced to every adult on earth. The University of the UN in Helsinki found facts of fifty- six percent of the world population and used trends of this info to determine the rest and came to so interesting results. It appears that there is a great vast of difference between the amount of people in the upper and lower class.
A statistic was made that showed about only half of the worlds population contained one-tenth of the world's wealth. Another study computed that if you shrunk the size of the world population to ten people there would be an approximate 1 person who would receive one thousand dollars in wealth where all the other nine would just receive one dollar.
The University of the UN showed an interesting fact as well that two of the wealthiest nations in the world that make up for two-thirds of the richest percent of the world. It showed that in the USA that ninety percent of Americans make up for only about one-third of the countries wealth. In Japan ninety percent of its population makes up for sixty percent of its nation's wealth, this shows the difference in class between the United States and Japan. This does not even count the 462 billionaires that are present in today's world that make up for approximately 1.7 percent of the worlds wealth, this is more than the poorest 1.5 billion people on earth.
Though a temporary solution was discovered by the UN and the World Bank in 2005 if the world's countries were to 1.6 percent of the income of the richest ten percent it would provide three hundred billion for the nations poorest people who live in poverty on less that a dollar a day.

财富之于当今经济
这篇文章告诉我们全世界财富的分配对于地球上每一个成年人来讲是多么的不平衡.位于赫尔辛基的联合国大学从世界人口的56%中研究出这个事实,并用这个信息来推测余下的,就得出了如此有趣的结果.结果显示上层人士与下层人士的数量存在很大的差别.
一组数据显示世界一半的人口只占据了十分之一的世界财富.另外一个研究计算出如果将地球的人口缩到十个人,这样就会有大约一个人得到一千美金的财富,而其余的九个只有一美金.
联合国大学也发表了一个有趣的事实:世界上最富有的两个国家有着世界三分之二的最富有的人.研究显示出美国９０％的人口只占据国家财富的三分之一；在日本，９０％的人口占据６０％的财富．这就显示出在美国和日本阶级的差别了．这还没算进当今世界只占据世界大约１．７％的人口的４６２０亿亿万富翁．这比地球上１５亿穷人还多．
然而联合国和世界银行在２００５年找出了一个暂时的援解办法：假若世界上的国家将最富有的人的１０％收入的１．６％拿出来，就会有３０００亿美圆提供给那些国家里每天靠着不够一美金生活的最贫穷的人．
