Trends and Demographic changes



On July 11th We celebrate the World Population Day to enhance awareness of population trends, including the impact on a large array of development challenges.

It is estimated that there are about 8.2 billion people on this planet in 2025. The world population was about 3 billion in 1960 and grew to 8.2 billion in 65 years. According to the projections by the United Nations, it is likely that the world population will continue to grow and reach 9.6 billion in 2050.
