Distilled Demographics: Addressing Population Myths

Demography can be a complicated and confusing subject. The media can discuss population issues based on false assumptions and interpretations without realizing it and statistics can be misrepresented to pursue individual points of view. In this video, PRB senior demographer Carl Haub addresses common population myths: Myth 1: There was no population growth problem in the 1960s and 1970s. Myth 2: The world's population is not growing and today's problem is low birth rates. Myth 3: Europe will be predominately Muslim by 2050. Have a question or comment for Carl?

PRB informs people around the world about population, health and the environment, and empowers them to use that information to advance the well-being of current and future generations.
