Every year on July 11, World Population Day is observed which serves as a reminder of the critical challenges and opportunities presented by global population trends. Established by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in 1989, the day aims to draw attention to population issues, including their impact on development and the environment. According to 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.

Recognising the importance of population issues, the UN General Assembly decided to continue the initiative, making it an annual observance. The day focuses on the urgency and importance of population issues in the context of overall development plans and programs.
