July 11th is World Population Day |
|
Calling Attention to Urgent Global Issues World
Population Day was established by the Governing Council of the United Nations
Development Programme in 1989 as a way to focus attention on the urgency and
importance of population issues. It was an outgrowth of the interest generated
by the Day of Five Billion, which was observed on 11 July 1987. Each year
UNFPA selects a different theme to rally around. World Population Day 2010,
Everyone Counts, will underscore the importance of data for development. It
will foster an understanding of why reliable, disaggregated data is so crucial
to progress and encourage people to participate in the census and other data
collection efforts. People
around the world observe World Population Day in different ways. Many UNFPA
Country Offices and other institutions mark the day with celebrations, poster
or essay contests, sports events concerts or other activities to bring
attention to population issues. |
