It varies, it is between 7-10% of the population
Also, it depends on what you call "left-handed". Does that mean you write with it? What if you write with the left and do everything else, like play the guitar and throw baseballs with the right? There's a few people out there that only use their left hand for writing and it feels more natural to use the right for nearly everything else. (The opposite of that is also true.)
For a number, though, when taking into account old people and young, the number is usually right around 7%. When looking at schools now, it is usually working out to right around 10%. I've actually noticed this... Usually high school (just a few years ago) there were about three left-handers in the class, me and two others, when class size was about 30 people.
I know there's a lot here, and it was a simple question, but I figured I'd try to open your mind a little.
For years, it was widely accepted that 1 in 10 people are left-handed. However, research studies to back up this figure are very hard to find. Recently, small studies (usually among children) have come up with figures of between 12% and 15% of the population. The most recent study has concluded that 13% of the population are currently left-handed.
It is widely believed that there are slightly more left-handed boys, with normally about 5 boys for every 4 left-handed girls. A study of 3,000 schoolchildren in London recorded an even higher percentage of boys (11.6%) than girls (8.6%). Some research has linked left-handedness to the level of testosterone present in the womb before birth, which may explain the imbalance. Another suggestion - that girls tend to be more receptive to social mores and eager to conform, so may change to the hand of their peers - seems very unlikely, as we now know that handedness is not a matter of choice, but part of our physiological makeup.
Only 15% of people in the world are left handed
According to Science Daily, it is believed that between 8 and 15% of the adult population is left-handed, with males predominating over females when it comes to left-handedness.
If you mean what percentage of the world's people are left handed, then it's around 10 to 20 Percent. Left handed people are much more rare than right handed.

No, people are left-handed because they choose to be left-handed.
I believe about 40~60% of the world's left-handed population ((Which is still only 7~10% out of over 6 billion people)), are male.
3-4%
About 10% of people are born left handed.
Well, it depends. 90-95% of right handed people are left hemisphere dominant, but 65-75% of LEFT-handed people are LEFT hemisphere dominant.
believe it or not right handed people live longer then left handed people (on this juice lid it said: left hand people die 9 or 6 years earlier then right handed people) dont worry the people who are left hand im with u...im left handed to
no such guitar controller has been commercially produced for left handed people but many creative left handed people have made or modified a right handed guitar controller to be left handed. playing a right handed guitar left handed is still easily achievable and is why no people bother to have a left handed specific controller.
The worlds population of left handed people is approximately 11%
10 because 1 in 10 people are left handed
66 divided by 400 gives you the fraction of people who are left handed. Multiply by 100 to get your answer.
