Changes in the structure, distribution, and size of populations are interlinked with all facets of sustainable development. Tracking these changes and analysing population trends helps governments and international agencies generate the political will to appropriately address current and future needs.

UNFPA helps developing countries collect and analyse population data and to integrate population and development strategies into national, regional and global planning.
