World Population Day 2025: THIS Netflix Series Shows a World With Just 100 People

World Population Day 2025: THIS Netflix Series Shows a World With Just 100 People

On World Population Day 2025, we’re invited to think about the sheer scale of humanity, 8 billion people sharing one planet. But what if there were only a tiny fraction of us left? Netflix’s Brazilian dystopian series 3% paints a striking picture of what a drastically reduced world might look like.


Netflix’s 3%

Set in a near future ravaged by poverty and scarcity, the world of 3% feels eerily like one where only 100 people remain, forced to compete for the chance to live in comfort. Every year, young adults undergo “The Process,” a brutal set of tests that determine who earns a spot in the idyllic Offshore, a place with enough resources, opportunity, and hope. The rest are left behind in the Inland, struggling to survive with what little is left.

Watching 3% on World Population Day stirs uncomfortable questions.

  • Would we treat each other differently if there were only 100 of us?
  • Would we still build walls, hoard resources, or decide who is “worthy” of a better life?
  • Would we finally see one another as precious: each life essential, each voice needed?

The beauty of 3% lies in how it doesn’t just show a divided world, but digs deep into the human spirit. We see characters grapple with loyalty, sacrifice, and the morality of a system that pits people against each other. In a sense, it’s a sharp mirror reflecting our own society, where opportunity isn’t always equally distributed, even among billions.


As we mark World Population Day 2025, 3% reminds us that the real challenge isn’t just how many people live on Earth, but how we choose to live together. Whether we are 8 billion or 100, compassion and fairness remain the foundations of any truly sustainable future.
