What is the State of the World Population Report? 

The State of World Population report is UNFPA’s annual flagship publication. Published yearly since 1978, it shines a light on emerging issues in the field of sexual and reproductive health and rights, bringing them into the mainstream and exploring the challenges and opportunities they present for international development. 

This year’s report includes contributions from several partners: the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, the UN Human Rights Office, and the Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, and more.
