Every year, World Population Day 2024 is observed on July 11 to highlight the global population issues, including population control.

According to the United Nations (UN), the rising population impacts employment, economic development, poverty, income distribution and social protection. The trend has a deteriorating impact on education, healthcare, sanitation, housing, water, food, and energy.

The United Nations declared World Population Day in 1989. This unique occasion was created when the world's population crossed five billion on July 11, 1987. 

The theme of this year’s World Population Day is - Leave no one behind, count everyone.
