>A third of people born today do not have government identification

I think that number is closer to 100%. Most babies do not obtain government IDs on their date of birth.

Do you mean a third of people on earth? A third of people over a certain age?

The Tweet I cited links to an article that goes into detail on this point. A third of babies born will not have their births registered.
