Session 2506
Research Leader Session on World Population Prospects: Recent Innovations, User Experiences and Future Developments, organized by the United Nations Population Division

World Population Prospects 2024, released in July 2024, is the twenty-eighth edition of estimates and projections of the global population published by the United Nations. The estimates cover the period from 1950 to 2023 for 237 countries or areas, which together comprise the total population of the world. Whereas a session at the International Population Conference in 2017 in Cape Town examined projections of the global population, this session will focus on recent advances in the availability, accessibility and transparency of WPP estimates of population and its components of change (mortality, fertility and international migration)
