UN projected the world's population to pass 7 billion
The world's population is projected to pass 7 billion on Oct. 31 as it heads toward 10 billion or more by
the end of the century, a new U.N. report said on May 4,2011. The report also predicted that the global
population would be higher by mid-century than its last edition forecast two years ago, reaching 9.31
billion instead of 9.15 billion. It attributed this to fewer deaths as well as more births than it hadanticipated.
The October date for reaching the 7 billion mark is based on calculations from current trends and Hania
Zlotnik, head of the U.N. economic department's population division, said it should be taken "with a
grain of salt."
World Population Day 2010
World Population Day 2009 is on July 11, 2010. The theme of World Population Day 2010 is .Every One
Counts. This is an annual event, which seeks to raise awareness about global population issues. This
years theme is about encouraging people to participate in their official census and other methods ofcollecting data on populations.
The theme "Everyone Counts" highlights the compelling stories that numbers tell us about people. In
Asia, when censuses and surveys identified sex-ratio imbalances and missing girls, governments
responded, the media reported extensively on the disturbing trends and people were rallied to action. In
Europe and other regions, policy debate heated up when data analysis examined the levels of
replacement immigration needed to counteract declining and ageing populations.
The World population is estimated to be around 6.8 billion by end of June 2010 as against 5 billion in
July 1987. At the current rate of growth in population, the number of people in the world is likely to
reach 7 billion by October 2012, according to analysts. The population in India has increased more than
three times from 350 million in 1947 to 1.15 billion in 2010.
World Population Day 2009
World Population Day 2009 was observed on July 11, 2009. The theme for the year 2009 was , Fight
Poverty: Educate Girls is a serious reminder that the future of the worlds well being depends on
educating and empowering women. Several studies have shown that investments in health andeducation for women and girls are linked to increase in productivity and national income. Moreover,
women are generally observed to be economic agents for productivity because they invest their
earnings however meagre, in the health and education of their children.

World Population Day History
About 40 years ago world leaders declared July 11 as World Population Day, upholding the basic
human
right of individuals to freely and responsibly decide the number and timing of their children. Instituted in
1989 as an offshoot of the Day of Five Billion dated July 11, 1987, the United Nations earmarked World
Population Day to increase world awareness of population issues. Importance of family planning, gender
equality, poverty, maternal health, sexual and reproductive health and human rights are some
population- related issues that have a serious impact on the worlds development and environment.
Awareness to tackle population
World Population Day invites attention on the immediacy and importance of population related issues,
with the view to formulate development plans and programs and find solutions to these issues.
However critical the global financial meltdown is, nations cannot ignore funding for education
especially womens education, sexual and reproductive health, gender equality and the prevention andcontrol of epidemics and a host of other population-related factors.
The UNFPA has laid down certain priorities to tackle population related issues in a world that is reeling
under a financial crunch.
Address the urgent need for family planning as it directly impacts cost savings in the health sector, in
promoting maternal health, neonatal and child health
Stress the need to prevent teenage pregnancy and unwanted pregnancy, which can affect womens
health and lead to unsafe abortions
Since statistics prove that maternal mortality has a negative effect on GDP, at least consider the
significant economic returns brought in by investments in maternal healtheven if you dont care
much for womenfolk

(data from United Nations and Bureau of Census) -
Just in the last 10-year period from 1990 to 2000, the increase for that period is 796 million. This is an
average increase of 79.6 million per year - or about 218,000 per day, 9,100 per hour, 150 per minute.
World Population Problems
The more recent "explosive" growth, which causes serious world population problems and
environmental problems, is due to much more than just advances in agricultural technology. Among
other factors is the decrease in the death rate due to advances in medicine and sanitation. Thousands,
mostly children, starve to death every day in different places around the world. And just a few of the
consequent environmental problems: Forests everywhere are "disappearing." The global unpolluted
fresh water supply is in danger. Air in most big cities is becoming increasingly unhealthy.
Initiatives To Check Population Growth in India
In pursuance of the National Population Policy, the Government had set up National Rural Health
Mission (NRHM) and Jansankya Sthirata Kosh (JSK) to check the growth of population. The aims and
objectives include encouragement of Fixed day, Fixed Place Family Planning Services round the year
through 24X7 Primary Health Centres and other facilities under the Health Mission, carefully
introducing new and effective contraceptives in the programme, increase in the compensation package
for sterilization. Also a National Family Planning Insurance Scheme was also started since November
2005 to compensate the sterilization acceptors for failures, complications and deaths. With a view to
achieve good health for people, especially the poor and the underprivileged, the 11th Five Year Plan
(2007-2012) aims at reducing the Maternal Mortality Rate (MMR) to one per one thousand live births,
Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) to 28 per one thousand live births and the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) to 2.1.

India is the second largest country in population after China. According to the India Population clock its
population on March 3, 2009 was 1,145,174,000 that is nearly 16.94% of world population. Even the
population of Indian states are more than some countries.
The population in India has increased more than three times from 350 million in 1947 to 1.15 billion in
2010. As per Report of the Working Group on Population Stabilization 11th Five Year Plan (2007-2012),Indian population is expected to overtake that of China by the year 2030 and the country will be the
largest in the world with an estimated population of around 1.53 billion.

World populationFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
World population from 1800 to 2100, based on UN 2004 projections (red, orange, green) and US Census Bureau historical
estimates (black).
The world population is the total number of living humans on the planet Earth, currently estimated to be
6.93 billion by the United States Census Bureau.[1] The world population has experienced continuous
growthsince the end of the Bubonic Plague, Great Famine and Hundred Years Wars in 1350, when it was
about 300 million.[2] The highest rates of growthincreases above 1.8% per yearwere seen briefly during the
1950s, for a longer period during the 1960s and 1970s; the growth rate peaked at 2.2% in 1963, and declined
to 1.1% by 2009. Annual births have reduced to 140 million since their peak at 173 million in the late 1990s,
and are expected to remain constant, while deaths number 57 million per year and are expected to increase to
80 million per year by 2040. Current projections show a continued increase of population (but a steady decline
in the population growth rate) with the population to reach between 7.5 and 10.5 billion by the year 2050.[3][4][5]

Population statistics for 6 continents and 10 countries
Asia accounts for over 60% of the world population with more than 4 billion people. China and India together
have about 37 percent of the world's population.Africa follows with 1 billion people, 15% of the world's
population. Europe's 733 million people make up 11% of the world's population. Latin America and the
Caribbean region is home to 589 million (9%), Northern America is to 352 million (5%) and Oceania to 35
million ( 0.5 %).[6]

It is estimated that the population of the world reached one billion in 1804, two billion in 1927, three billion in
1960, four billion in 1974, five billion in 1987, and six billion in 1999. It is projected to reach seven billion in
October 2011, and around eight billion by 20252030. By 20452050, the world's population is currently
projected to reach around nine billion, with alternative scenarios ranging from 7.4 billion to 10.6
billion.[7][8][9][10][11] Projected figures vary depending on such things as the underlying assumptions and which
variables are manipulated in projection calculations, especially the fertility variable. Such variations give long-
range predictions to 2150, ranging from population decline to 3.2 billion in the 'low scenario', to high scenarios
of 24.8 billion, or soaring to 256 billion assuming fertility remains at 1995 levels.[12]
There is no estimation on the exact day or month the world's population surpassed both the one and two billion
marks. The day of three and four billion were not officially noted, but the International Database of the United
States Census Bureau places them in July 1959 and April 1974. The United Nations did determine, and
celebrate, the "Day of 5 Billion" (11 July 1987), and the "Day of 6 Billion" (12 October 1999). The International
Programs division of the United States Census Bureau estimated that the world reached six billion on 21 April
1999 (several months earlier than the official United Nations day). The "Day of 7 Billion" has been targeted by
the United States Census Bureau to be in July 2012,[13]while the Population Division of the United Nations
suggests 26 August 2011.[14]
[edit]Regional billion milestones
Regionally, the first region to hit a billion people was the Northern Hemisphere, followed shortly by the Eastern
Hemisphere, not too long after the world hit a billion.[citation needed] Next in coming wasAsia, then East
Asia and South Asia, followed by China in 1980, India in 1999, Western Hemisphere in 2000s andAfrica in
2010. The next billion people milestones expected by demographers are theAmericas, with a current
population of around 920 million, the Southern Hemisphere and Subsaharan Africa with each around 850
million people. It is not known if the current next contenders, Europe, Southeast Asia, and North America in that
order, will ever surpass 1 billion people.
As for 2, 3, and 4 billion, only the Northern Hemisphere, Eastern Hemisphere, andAsia have surpassed these
figures.

[edit]Antiquity and Middle Ages
A dramatic population bottleneck is theorized for the period around 70,000 BC (see Toba catastrophe theory).
After this time and until the development of agriculture, it is estimated that the world population stabilized at
about one million people whose subsistence entailed hunting and foraging, a lifestyle that by its nature ensured
a low population density. The total world population probably never exceeded 15 million inhabitants before the
invention ofagriculture.[15] By contrast, it is estimated that more than 55 million people lived in the combined
eastern and western Roman Empire (AD 300400).[16]
The Plague of Justinian caused Europe's population to drop by around 50% between 541 and the 8th
century.[17] The population of Europe was more than 70 million in 1340. [18] TheBlack Deathpandemic in the
14th century may have reduced the world's population from an estimated 450 million to between 350 and 375
million in 1400.[19] It took roughly 200 years for Europe's population to regain its 1340 level. [20] China
experienced a population decline from an estimated 123 million around 1200 to an estimated 65 million in
1393,[21] which was presumably due to a combination ofMongol invasions and plague.[22] William McNeill
clearly states that China's population decline is better explained by bubonic plague than by Mongol
ferocity.[citation needed]
At the founding of the Ming Dynasty in 1368, China's population was reported to be close to 60 million, and
toward the end of the dynasty in 1644 it might have approached 150 million. [23][24]England's population reached
an estimated 5.6 million in 1650, up from an estimated 2.6 million in 1500. [25] New crops that had come
toAsia and Europe from the Americas via the Spanish colonizers in the 16th century contributed to the
population growth.[26][27] Since being introduced by Portuguese traders in the 16th
century,[28]maize andmanioc have replaced traditionalAfrican crops as the continents most important staple
food crops.[29]Alfred W. Crosby speculated that increased production of maize, manioc, and other American
crops "...enabled the slave traders [who] drew many, perhaps most, of their cargoes from the rain forest
areas,preciselythose areas where American crops enabled heavier settlement than before." [30]
The population of theAmericas in 1500 may have been between 50 and 100 million.[31] The pre-
Columbian North American population probably numbered somewhere between 2 million and 18
million.[32] Encounters between European explorers and populations in the rest of the world often introduced
local epidemics of extraordinary virulence.[33] Archaeological evidence indicates that the death of around 90%
of the Native American population of the New World was caused by Old World diseases such as smallpox,
measles, and influenza.[34] Over the centuries, the Europeans had developed high degrees of immunity to these
diseases, while the indigenous peoples had no such immunity. [35]

Urban areas with at least one million inhabitants in 2006.
3% of the world's population lived in cities in 1800, rising to 47% at the end of the twentieth century.
During theAgricultural and Industrial Revolutions, the life expectancy of children increased dramatically.[36] The
percentage of the children born in London who died before the age of five decreased from 74.5% in 1730-1749
to 31.8% in 1810-1829.[37][38]Europes population increased from about 100 million in 1700 to 400 million by
1900.[39] Altogether, the areas of European settlement comprised 36% of the world's population in 1900. [40]
The population growth became more rapid after the introduction of compulsory vaccination and improvements
inmedicine and sanitation.[41][42][43] As living conditions and health care improved during the 19th century,
theUnited Kingdom's population doubled every fifty years. [44] By 1801 the population of England had grown to
8.3 million, and by 1901 had grown to 30.5 million. [45] The first fifty years of the 20th century in Russia and the
Soviet Union were marked by a succession of disasters, each accompanied by largescale population
losses.[46] By 1945, therefore, the population was about 90 million less than it could have been otherwise. [47]
The population of the Indian subcontinent, which stood at about 125 million in 1750, had reached 389 million by
1941.[48] Today, the region is home to 1.18 billion people.[49] The total number of inhabitants ofJava increased
from about five million in 1815 to more than 130 million in the early 21st century. [50]Mexico's population has
grown from 13.6 million in 1900 to about 112 million in 2009. [51] In eighty years, Kenya's population has grown
from 2.9 million to 37 million.[52]
[edit]Overpopulation
Main article: Overpopulation
The scientific consensus is that the current population expansion and accompanying increase in usage of
resources is linked to threats to the ecosystem.[53][54] The InterAcademy Panel Statement on Population Growth,
which was ratified by 58 membernational academies in 1994, called the growth in human numbers
"unprecedented", and stated that many environmental problems, such as rising levels of atmospheric carbon
dioxide, global warming, and pollution, were aggravated by the population expansion. [55] At the time, the world

population stood at 5.5 billion, and lower-bound scenarios predicted a peak of 7.8 billion by 2050, a number
that current estimates show will be reached around 2030.[56]
[edit]Human population control
Main article: Human population control
Human population control is the practice of artificially altering the rate of growth of a human population.
Historically, human population control has been implemented by limiting the population's birth rate, by
contraception or by government mandate, and has been undertaken as a response to factors including high or
increasing levels ofpoverty, environmental concerns, religious reasons, and overpopulation.

Main article: Population growth
Population evolution in different continents. The vertical axis is logarithmic and is millions of people.
Different regions have different rates ofpopulation growth. According to the above table, the growth in
population of the different regions from 2000 to 2005 was:
237.771 million inAsia
92.293 million inAfrica

38.052 million in Latin America
16.241 million in Northern America
3.264 million in Europe
1.955 million in Oceania
383.047 million in the whole world
In the 20th century, the world saw the biggest increase in its population
in human history due to lessening of the mortality rate in many
countries due to medical advances and massive increase in agricultural
productivity attributed to the Green Revolution.[64][65][66]
In 2000, the United Nations estimated that the world's population was
growing at the rate of 1.14% (or about seventy-five million people) per
year,[67] down from a peak of eighty-eight million per year in 1989. In
the last few centuries, the number of people living on Earth has
increased many times over. By 2000, there were ten times as many
people on Earth as there were three hundred years ago. According to
data from the CIA's 20052006 World Factbooks, the world human
population increased by an average of 203,800 people every
day.[68] The CIA Factbook increased this to 211,090 people every day
in 2007, and again to 220,980 people every day in 2009.

Globally, the population growth rate has been steadily declining from its
peak of 2.19% in 1963, but growth remains high in Latin America,
the Middle East and Sub-Saharan Africa.[69]
In some countries there is negative population growth
(i.e. net decrease in population over time), especially
in Central and Eastern Europe (mainly due to low fertility rates). Within
the next decade, Japan and some countries in Western Europe are
also expected to encounter negative population growth due to sub-
replacement fertility rates.
In 2006, the United Nations stated that the rate of population growth is
diminishing due to thedemographic transition. If this trend continues,
the rate of growth may diminish to zero, concurrent with a world
population plateau of 9.2 billion, in 2050.[70] However, this is only one of
many estimates published by the UN. In 2009, UN projections for 2050
range from about 8 billion to 10.5 billion. [71]

In the long run, the future population growth of the world is difficult to
predict and the UN and US Census Bureau give different estimates.
According to the latter, world population will hit seven billion in July
2012[74] or by late 2011, according to UN prediction.[5]

Birth rates are declining slightly on average, but vary greatly between
developed countries (where birth rates are often at or below
replacement levels), developing countries, and different
ethnicities. Death rates can change unexpectedly due
to disease, wars and catastrophes, oradvances in medicine.
The UN has issued multiple projections of future world population,
based on different assumptions. Over the last ten years, the UN has
consistently revised these projections downward, until the 2006
revision issued March 14, 2007 revised the 2050 mid-range estimate
upwards by 273 million.
In some scenarios, disasters triggered by the growing population's
demand for scarce resources will eventually lead to a sudden
population crash, or even a Malthusian catastrophe (also
see overpopulation and food security).
