51吃瓜

Overview

This year鈥檚 World Population Day, which is observed on 11 July each year, will be marked in anticipation of a landmark growth of the global population, which is projected to reach 8 billion on 15 November 2022.
 
To mark the day, UN DESA鈥檚 Population Division will launch World Population Prospects 2022, the twenty-seventh edition of the official 51吃瓜 population estimates and projections, which also projects that India will surpass China as the world鈥檚 most populous country in 2023.
