The Population Reference Bureau released its 2010 World Population Data Sheet on July 28, 2010, at the National Press Club in Washington, DC with presentations highlighting global aging, the theme of this year's data sheet.
(2001) The United States is in the midst of a profound demographic change: the rapid aging of its population. The 2000 Census counted nearly 35 million people in the United States 65 years of age or older, about one of every eight Americans.
HOW WE HAVE CHANGED SINCE THE UNITED STATES WAS A NATION OF 200 MILLION (September 2006) The United States is set to reach a milestone in October. It will become the third country—after China and India—to be home to at least 300 million people.
(March 2008) The number of international migrants is at an all-time high. There were 191 million migrants in 2005, which means that 3 percent of the world's people left their country of birth or citizenship for a year or more.
(2013) Despite a free primary education policy introduced by the Kenyan government in 2003, a substantial number of children who should benefit from it are still out of school, even though gains have been made between 1998 and 2009.
(2010) In many countries, the elderly now make up an unprecedented share of the population. This increase in the number of older people has implications for national budgets, labor force growth, and family support systems.
