About 10% of the global population is left-handed. This figure is widely reported and supported by multiple studies and sources, with estimates generally ranging from around 9% to 12%
. Some research even suggests a slight increase in the proportion of left- handers over time, potentially rising to as much as 15% in the future, though the reasons for this are unclear
. In summary, the consensus is that approximately one in ten people worldwide are left-handed.
