The answer is:

95 percent.

Currently, the world’s population totals more than 6.7 billion and grows at an average rate of around 80 million persons per year.

Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and Latin America, three regions of the world made up of mostly developing countries, account for most of the world’s increasing population.

It is staggering to think about what this percentage really means.
…Countries that have less are continually having to provide for more and more people.

To think that God would grace me in the other 3% is unthinkable. We should do what we can for the world from where we are.
