Day of Six Billion

The United Nations Population Fund designated 12 October 1999, as the approximate day on which world population reached six billion. It was officially designated The Day of Six Billion.

Demographers do not universally accept this date as being exact. In fact, there has been subsequent research which places the day of six billion to be nearer to 18 or 19 June 1999.^[1]
