Academic Article (11 July... World Population Day 2024)

The United Nations has designated July 11 of every year as World Population Day, resulting from global interest in 'Five Billion Day,' the estimated date when the world population would reach 5 billion people on July 11, 2530 (1987 CE). It was established by the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme in 2532 (1989 CE) to draw attention and urgency to the importance of population issues. In 2533, the United Nations General Assembly continued to recognize it as World Population Day to increase awareness of population issues, including their relationship to the environment and development. Over the past 35 years, up to November 15, 2565, the United Nations estimated that the world population had reached 8 billion people, or 'Eight Billion Day.' It took 12 years to increase from 7 billion to 8 billion people. It is estimated that in 2567, the population will exceed 8.1 billion, and will reach 8.5 billion in 2573 (2030 CE).
