But Is the Pope a CFP
Peter Baigent's article reminded me of a Crown Life manager I knew decades ago. Pierre, in telling me about his trip to Rome, and audience with the Pope, said, "You know, he'd make a good insurance agent because he divides the population of the world into just two categories."

2.0 The economic context: Support for Growth-oriented Women Entrepreneurs in Tanzania, 2005
Tanzania has a population of just over 37 million, a GDP of US$22 billion, and GDP per capita of US$610.6 An estimated 51 per cent of the population lives below the poverty line. Eighty per cent of the country’s poor population live in rural areas, depending on subsistence agriculture and unable to participate in broader markets. Poor roads, exorbitantly expensive utilities and prohibitive policies have compounded this problem, significantly impeding the growth of the economy.7 Agriculture, the mainstay of the economy, is almost 50 per cent of GDP, and small-scale peasant farmers, who make up 70 per cent of the population, carry out over 80 per cent of agricultural activities. About 30 per cent of the population over 15 years of age is illiterate (UDEC, 2002).
1.0 Introduction: Microfinance in Africa - Experience and Lessons from Selected African Countries
Small enterprises and most of the poor population in sub-Saharan Africa have very limited access to deposit and credit facilities and other financial services provided by formal financial institutions. For example, in Ghana and Tanzania, only about 5–6 percent of the population has access to the banking sector. This lack of access to financial services from the formal financial system is quite striking, when one considers that in many African countries the poor represent the largest share of the population and that the informal sector is an important part of the economy.
Proper Regulation Is Crucial to Ensure Welfare Gains
The effects of privatisation on living conditions of the population, and, in particular, on improved access and quality, are mixed and depend on the regulatory framework in place and the capacity of the state to co-operate with the private sector. In particular, the impact of privatisation policies on the welfare of the population and ultimately on the poor requires:
Report from the Field: Incorporating Microfinance into Kenya's Economic Recovery Strategy
With a population of 30 million people and a per capita income of US$260, Kenya is categorized the 20th poorest country in the world.[1] Estimates indicate that about 47% of the rural population and 29% of the urban population live under conditions of absolute poverty, where malnutrition and seasonal famine are not just a consistent fear, but also a frequent reality in their lives. On the other hand, the unemployment rate, currently estimated at between 25% and 35%, threatens to get out of hand as roughly 0.5 million school dropouts continue to join the ranks of the unemployed every year.
Effects of education upon fertility: The Indirect Effects of Investment in Human Capital
Whether and how government policy should affect fertility is a controversial ethical issue. However, the UN International Conference on Population and Development in Cairo in September 1994 highlighted the importance of enhancing female education as part of a successful population policy.
Empathy Means Not Going It Alone
When I feel overwhelmed, it's often because I forget that I'm not in competition with the rest of the world, but I always have the option to join in cooperation. That requires that I adjust my attitude toward the rest of the population of the world and see them as other 'selves' rather than threats. This awareness, this attitude, I call 'empathy'.
Entrepreneurs are Made, Not Born
Do you ever wonder why some people seem to march to their own drum and make their own paths, while the majority of the population is led? What is the difference between the Warren Buffetts, the Donald Trumps, the Bill Gates, the Steve Jobs of the world and the average citizen? Is there something innately different about them?
Profit is not a reason for being in business
One of the most profound statements of our time was made by The President of the World Business Council for Sustainable Development Bjorn Stigson, "Business cannot survive in societies that fail." Currently society is failing many of it's citizens. 2006 Nobel Peace Prize winner Muhammad Yunus says in his excellent book ‘Creating a world without poverty', "Half of the world's population lives on two dollars a day. Over one billion people live on less than a dollar a day."
