World Population To Reach 7 billion October 31st - UNFPA


The United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) has launched this year's edition of the State of the World's Population Report to guide policy makers and researchers to institute measures to prevent conflicts and enhance development.

The report on the theme: "People and Possibilities in a World of 7 billion" focuses on the world population which is expected to reach 7 billion on the 31st of October, 2011.

It also looks at the trends that are defining our world of 7 billion and shows what people in different countries and circumstances are doing in their own communities to make the most of our world in 7 billion.

Aquinas Quansah, Deputy Minister for local Government and Rural Development, who launched the report in Accra on Thursday, said the document clearly indicates that Ghana is indeed not outside the global village but integral part it.

Dr Bernard Coquelin, the UNFPA Country’s Representative, in his welcome address, opined that the State of World Population makes the case that with planning and the right investments in people, we would have a thriving, sustainable cities, productive labour forces that can fuel economic growth, youth population that contribute to the well-being of economies and societies, and a generation of older people who are healthy and actively engaged in their nations’ socio- economic affairs.
