UN Sets out Population Challenges

As the world's population nears 7 billion the UN has pointed out the future challenges faced by the planet. Even though its highlights the successes of falling fertility rates and rising life expectancy it also states that the population could reach 10 billion by the end of the century causing massive problems. The UN explains that we should now be looking for solutions about how to feed, educate and keep healthy so many people. It also says we should be finding new ways for caring for the ageing population in many countries.
