An Opportunity for Women in the New Global Population Numbers?

| 2 Comments

Read the original by Adam Werbach at Atlantic.com

By 2050, the world will contain 10 billion people, the UN now predicts, but we shouldn’t see the statistic through the failed lens of population control

Could the best way to stabilize the world’s population be to not talk about population?

The UN now predicts

that the human population of the planet, long predicted to level out at nine billion people, will now most likely reach 10 billion people by the year 2050. The new projections offer an opportunity to move beyond the flawed framework of population control and towards global activism on behalf of women.
