The UN reports the world population has surpassed 8,000,000,000, but these figures are questionable. Independent investigations reveal discrepancies when calculating populations using the UN's own data. For example, adding the populations of India's 300 largest cities accounts for only 200,000,000 people, making a total national figure of 1,400,000,000 statistically impossible. Similarly, the world's 300 most populated cities only total approximately 1,500,000,000 people.
Governments may inflate population statistics to secure more funding for social programs and manipulate the public through fear, leading to expensive and controlling solutions. Concerns about overpopulation have led to inhumane population control programs, such as China's one-child policy and forced sterilizations. The UN Population Fund is involved in population moderation programs worldwide. The greatest threat to mankind's prosperity is government, not population growth.
