World Population Day is an annual event, observed on July 11, which seeks to raise awareness of global population issues. 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.

In 1989, in its decision 89/46, the Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme recommended that, in order to focus attention on the urgency and importance of population issues in the context of overall development plans and programmes and the need to find solutions for these issues, 11 July should be observed by the international community as World Population Day.

The World Population Day, marked annually on 11 July, focuses on the urgency and importance of population issues. It was established by the then-Governing Council of the United Nations Development Programme in 1989 and was first marked on 11 July 1990 in more than 90 countries

World population day is celebrated on the 11th of July every year. I read from a newspaper that July 11, 1989 was the birthday of Madej Gasper in Yugoslavia. On that day, world population reached 5 billion. Therefore, this day is considered to be 'World Population Day'.

World Population Day was started by the World Organization from 11 July 1989 to commemorate the world population reaching 500 crores on 11 July 1987.

The tremendous interest generated by the Day of 5 Billion on 11 July 1987 led to the establishment of World Population Day as an annual event.

That's called World Census Day. Not population. July of 11 is called World CENSUS Day!

It was an important day, as world population reached 5 billion (obviously on papers).
