The world population exceeded the mark of 8 billion people, contrary to reducing the rate of demographic growth on the planet.
Every year on July 11, the world is celebrated as World Population Day. The corresponding decision was made by the UN General Assembly in 1989 in order to draw attention to problems related to the population.
The UN Foundation in the field of population (Yunfpa) annually on July 11, conducts various events aimed at increasing awareness of the problems of population and development and draws attention to important issues in this area.
According to the UN, the world population reached 6 billion – in 1999, 7 billion – in 2011 and 8 billion in 2022.
growth is due to the gradual increase in the life expectancy of people due to the improvement of health care, nutrition, personal hygiene and medicine. It is also the result of a high and stable birth rate in some countries.
If it took 12 years to increase the population of the world from 7 to 8 billion, then it will take about 15 years to reach about 15 years – until 2037, which indicates a slowdown in the growth rate of the world’s population as a whole.
According to the report “On the Population of the World in 2023”, the most densely populated country in the world is India with a population of 1 billion 428 million 600 thousand people.
