Webinar Presentation on 2011 World Population Data Sheet

Global population will reach 7 billion later in 2011, just 12 years after reaching 6 billion in 1999. But virtually all of that growth is concentrated in the world's poorest countries, making it difficult to lift large numbers of people out of poverty. In this webinar recorded on July 28, 2011, PRB demographers Carl Haub, James Gribble, and Linda Jacobsen present key findings from PRB's 2011 World Population Data Sheet that illustrate just how stark the contrasts are between rich and poor countries and the implications of a world of 7 billion people, followed by a question and answer session.
