International Day of Families 2023: Demographic Trends and Families

By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: Today is being recognized globally as International Day of Families.

The day is being observed under the theme, “Demographic Trends and Families”.

Last year, the world’s population reached 8 billion people. The United Nations Secretary-General said this was a ‘milestone in human development’ illustrating major advancements in health extending human lifespans.

Projections indicate that population growth could reach 9.8 billion in 2050.

Statistics from the United Nations show that globally, over 23% of individuals, equating to over 1 billion people, live in slums in urban areas.

In addition, an estimated 2% of the global population is homeless and an additional 20 per cent live in inadequate housing.

The 2023 International Day of Families observance is to raise awareness of the impact of demographic trends on families.

Leaders around the world can promote awareness of issues relating to families and to increase the knowledge of the social, economic and demographic processes affecting families.
