Is it true that Jewish people make up less than 1 percent of the world's population?

Yes. Two reference sources report the world's core Jewish population at roughly 0.2 percent of the global population (16.5 million of 8.28 billion as of 2026; 14.8 million of 7.95 billion as of 2020), which is below 1 percent.
