'State of World Population 2011' was produced by the Information and External Relations Division of UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, and reports that seven billion people will inhabit the earth on 31 October 2011.

This year's State of World Population report, People and Possibilities in a World of 7 Billion, looks at the dynamics behind the numbers. It explains the trends that are defining our world of seven billion and documents actions that people in vastly different countries and circumstances are taking in their own communities to make the most of their and our world.

The report makes the case that with planning and the right investments in people now - to empower them to make choices that are not only good for themselves but for our global commons - our world of seven billion and beyond can have thriving, sustainable cities, productive labour forces that can fuel economic growth, youth populations that contribute to the well-being of economies and societies, and a generation of older people who are healthy and actively engaged in the social and economic affairs of their communities.
