FABULOUS & ASTONISHING FACTS OF NATURE & CREATION

Every year , the United Nations Human Development Report looks for a new way to measure the lives of people. Putting aside faceless statistics like per capita gross domestic product or export-import figures, the report burrows into the facts about what children eat, who goes to school, whether there is clean water to drink, how women share in the economy or who doesn't get vaccinations against diseases that go on killing even though they are preventable. This year, the report takes its first look at what people have -- from simple toilets to family cars -- and what proportion of the world's goods and services are consumed, comparatively, by the rich and by the poor. The pie is huge -- the world's consumption bill is $24 trillion a year -- but some servings are very small indeed.
