🚨The Great Global Imbalance: People vs. Power

We often talk about the rise of Asia, the awakening of Africa, and the shifting center of gravity in global economics. But the real picture in 2025 is far more complex — and far more imbalanced.

Asia-Pacific, with over 3.5 billion people, and China with 1.4 billion, together account for 59% of the world’s population. Yet their combined share of global GDP is just 39%. The region where the majority of humans live still generates less than half of the world’s wealth.

Africa, the youngest and most rapidly growing continent, now makes up 19% of global population — over 1.5 billion people. But its share of global GDP? A mere 2%. That’s not just inequality — it’s structural exclusion. Despite massive demographic energy, institutional fragility, underinvestment, and low economic integration continue to hold the continent back.

And then — the West.

U.S. & Canada together hold just 5% of the population, yet produce 28% of the world’s GDP — over $32.7 trillion.

Europe, with only 9% of the global headcount, adds another 24% — a staggering $28.2 trillion in output.

Think about that.

14% of humanity generates over half of global economic value. The rest? Watching, waiting — and slowly transforming.

This isn’t just a map. It’s a message.

Capital and demographics are diverging. The economic engine still hums in the West, but the population engine is firmly planted in the East and Global South.

So what happens when the two finally collide?

Is this the last breath of Western dominance — or the calm before a new economic storm led by Asia and Africa?

The world isn’t just shifting — it’s being rebalanced.

The only question is: who’s ready to lead the next chapter? #AMAGE
