Celebrating World Population Day – and Supporting Evidence-Based Policymaking Worldwide for Over 65 years [ [link removed] ]

"*Written by: Robert L. Santos, Director*"

We live in a global society. It’s been that way for a while, even as we continue to see ourselves and our lives through the geographic parochial lens of our choosing. Yet, every day there’s virtually nothing we do that isn’t influenced in part or whole by our global society, economy or the richness of cultures worldwide. At our core, we all are part of the people of Earth, a mere speck in the vastness of the universe. We don’t seem to appreciate our togetherness enough.

That’s why today is so special.

I bid you a Happy World Population Day [ [link removed] ]!

Did you know the U.S. Census Bureau’s International Database [ [link removed] ] indicates the world population will surpass 8 billion before year’s end? That’s an 8 with "nine "zeros after it! Across the globe, population statistics are used to pursue equitable growth, sustainable development and informed decision-making.

We’re proud the Census Bureau is the leading source of statistical information about our nation’s population [ [link removed] ]. But many people don’t realize the Census Bureau also plays a key role in strengthening the capabilities of national statistical offices in low- and middle-income countries. For over two thirds of a century, we’ve partnered with the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) to help over 100 nations produce high quality official statistics.
