The event was established by the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme in 1989
It was inspired by the public interest in Five Billion Day on July 11,1987-approximately the date on which the world's population reached five billion people
The theme for 2015 World Population Day is Vulnerable Populations in Emergencies. The world is seeing a record number of people displaced by crises – some 60 million according to the latest UN figures. UNFPA works in emergency settings around the globe to respond to the rights and needs of women and girls, helping them maintain their dignity, securing their safety, and restoring their access to sexual and reproductive health care.
