State of World Population 2023 - 8 Billion Lives, Infinite Possibilities

Publication date: 19 Apr 2023

In November 2022, the world’s population surpassed 8 billion people. Our human family is now larger than ever before.

This year’s State of the World Population report makes the case for a world in which each individual is free to choose their reproductive future – a world in which countries build demographic resilience by adapting to population change, rather than attempting to control it.

This moment requires us to recognize the potential of all people, regardless of their gender, ethnicity, nationality or ability, so that each person is enabled to contribute positively to our collective future – a future for all 8 billion of us, a future of infinite possibilities
