- State of the World Population 2012: By Choice, Not by Chance
[ www.unfpa.org ]
Languages: Arabic | English | French | Russian | Spanish
Family planning is a human right. Yet today some 222 million women in developing countries are unable to exercise that right because they lack access to contraceptives, information and quality services or because social and economic forces prevent them from taking advantage of services even where they are available. The State of World Population 2012 explains why family planning is a right, examines the challenges in ensuring that all women, men and young people are able to exercise that right and suggests actions that governments and international organizations can take to give everyone the power and the means to decide freely and responsibly how many children to have and when to have them.

State of World Population 2009: Facing a Changing World: Women, Population and Climate
[ www.unfpa.org ]
Languages: Arabic | English | French | Russian | Spanish
The 2009 flagship report argues that reproductive health care, including family planning, and gender relations could influence the future course of climate change and affect how humanity adapts to rising seas, worsening storms and severe droughts. Women, especially impoverished women in developing countries, bear the disproportionate burden of climate change, but have so far been largely overlooked in the debate about how to address problems of rising seas, droughts, melting glaciers and extreme weather, the report concludes.

- State of World Population 2007: Unleashing the Potential of Urban Growth
[ www.unfpa.org ]
Languages: English | French | Spanish | Arabic | Russian
In 2008, for the first time, more than half of the world's population will be living in urban areas. By 2030, towns and cities will be home to almost 5 billion people. The urban population of Africa and Asia will double in less than a generation. This unprecedented shift could enhance development and promote sustainability-or it could deepen poverty and accelerate environmental degradation. Women's empowerment and well-being are the pillars of sustainable cities...
- State of World Population 2006: A Passage to Hope: Women and International Migration
[ www.unfpa.org ]
Languages: English | French | Spanish | Arabic | Russian
Today, half of all international migrants-95 million-are women and girls. Yet, despite substantial contributions to both their families at home and communities abroad, the needs of migrant women continue to be overlooked and ignored. The State of World Population 2006 report, A Passage to Hope: Women and International Migration, examines the scope and breadth of female migration, the impact of the funds they send home to support families and communities, and their disproportionate vulnerability to trafficking, exploitation and abuse. The report reveals that although migrant women contribute billions of dollars in cash and services, policymakers continue to disregard both their contributions and their vulnerability-even though female migrants tend to send a much higher proportion of their lower earnings back home than their male counterparts.

[ www.unfpa.org ]
Languages: English
This report, prepared for the 2011 UN Conference on Least Developed Countries, outlines major population dynamics in LDCs and addresses their implications for development and poverty reduction.
