| World Population Officially Hits 7 Billion On Halloween Although it is of course impossible to say exactly when it will happen, demographers have picked 31st Oct 2011 as the symbolic date when the world population officially hits 7 billion. Its somewhat ironic choosing the day of the dead to highlight world population, that has taken little more than a decade to add on another billion heads, and while other calculations estimate it will not actually happen until March 2012, the U. | 30 Oct 2011 |
