The World.

The Atlantic has a note about anti-semitism:

Anti-Semitism will not be expunged by the 0.2 percent of the world that is Jewish, but by the 99.8 percent that is not.

I'd suggest that this construct also works with a small edit:

Poverty will not be expunged by the 0.2 percent of the world that is poor, but by the 99.8 percent that is not.
