Welcome to Population Quotes. It is a well known fact that population grows at geometric ratio and food production grows at arithmetic ratio. This is a matter of great concern. Through Population Quotes we will try to understand this important matter.
Therefore, to raise awareness of global population issues, we have to understand the importance of family planning, poverty, gender equality ,maternal health and human rights etc.
To tackle the population problem and to have an awareness drive, we observe World Population Day. This day is observed on July11every year.
The event was established by the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Program in 1989.
As on June2021,the current world population is 7.9 Billion. Let us know the previous milestones of world population.

- 3 Billion in 1960
- 4 Billion in 1974
- 5 Billion in 1987
- 6 Billion in 1999

Again, let me highlight the figure of 7.9 Billion as on June 2021.
