Do you know?According to papers published by the United States Census Bureau, the world population hit 6.5 billion (6,500,000,000) on February 25, 2006. It is estimated that by 2012, the Earth will be home to 7 billion. The United Nations Population Fund designated October 12, 1999 as the approximate day on which world population reached 6 billion. This was about 12 years after world population reached 5 billion, in 1987.

In 2007 the United Nations Population Division projected that the world's population will likely surpass 9 billion in 2050. The last 50 years have seen a rapid increase in population due to medical advances and substantial increase in agricultural productivity, particularly in the period 1960 to 1995 made by the Green Revolution.

Population Population ExplosionExplosion

Until about 200 years ago, population growth was slow.

Since then, there had been an enormous increase (previous graph).

Population Explosion: sudden and great increase in world’s population.

Rate of increase has become exponential.

CausesHigh BR - Parents want children

for labour especially in agricultural societies

to look after them in old age

to continue the family name

for added status in the community

to replace children who have died (high infant mortality rate)
