World Population Day is being observed Sunday (today). The main purpose of this day is to draw attention towards the issues arising due to overpopulation across the globe.
The World Population Day was established by the United Nations in 1989. A resolution to the effect was passed, and the day was first marked on July 11, 1990.
In December 1990, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) decided to continue observing World Population Day to enhance awareness about population issues, including their relations to the environment.
China has the world’s largest populace.
The United Nations has sent up a population fund (UNFPA) and a population division to plan programmes and coordinate with other agencies in order to highlight and disseminate information about population control measures.
The World Population Day is observed with the goal of highlighting the difficulties created by increase in population, raising awareness about how it may harm the ecosystem and progress of humanity.
