This is a difficult question to answer, it really depends who you class as a Jew.

according to the halakha a person's Jewishness is determined on the maternal side. although some people who are Jewish on their paternal side might concider themselves Jewish.

according to some statistics there are about 13 million Jews around the world as opposed to the proposed 17-18 million before World War II

which makes the percent of Jews around 0.2-0.18

What percentage of the total population does Judaism represent?

The total number of Jews worldwide is difficult to assess because the definition of "who is a Jew" is problematic as not all Jews identify themselves as Jewish, and some who identify as Jewish are not considered so by other Jews. According to the Jewish Year Book (1901), the global Jewish population in 1900 was around 11 million.The latest available data is from the World Jewish Population Survey of 2002 and the Jewish Year Calendar (2005). In 2002, according to the Jewish Population Survey, there were 13.3 million Jews around the world.The Jewish Year Calendar cites 14.6 million. Jewish population growth is currently near zero percent, with 0.3% growth from 2000 to 2001. Intermarriage and the declining birthrate have influenced Jewish population figures, although conversion to Judaism may help to offset this slightly.It has been noted by some writers that the apparent prominence of Jews is disproportionate to the size of their population.
