1. Wide shot, United Nations Headquarters

2. Wide shot, speakers at dais, briefing room
3. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Snow, Branch Chief of Population and Development, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA):
“We are here today because the world population is reordering itself. In November, the global population surpassed 8 billion, the largest population the world has seen. And this is cause for celebration. It reflects increased access to healthcare, healthier lives and higher life expectancies. At the same time, a hallmark of this 8 billion moment is how diverse the world is demographically.”
4. Close up, journalist asking question
5. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Snow, Branch Chief of Population and Development, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA):
“Two thirds of the world population now lives in a country that is below replacement fertility. Eight countries will account for half of all population growth between now and 2050. Some countries have a median age of the late 40s, others have a median age of 17. And the ranking of the world's most populous countries is changing as we speak.”
6. Close up, journalist asking question
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Rachel Snow, Branch Chief of Population and Development, United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA):
“The report's main point is that we've been asking the wrong question. If we're asking is the world having too many people or too few people? The right question for us to ask is can everyone exercise their fundamental human right to choose the number and spacing of their children? And the answer is a resounding no. An estimated half of all pregnancies in the world are unintended.”

STORYLINE
Population anxieties are widespread and governments are increasingly adopting policies aimed at raising, lowering or maintaining fertility rates, according to the UN Population Fund’s (UNFPA) State of World Population report, released today.
The landmark report “8 Billion Lives, Infinite Possibilities: the case for rights and choices” calls for a radical rethink of how population numbers are framed, urging politicians and media to abandon overblown narratives about population booms and busts.
Speaking to journalists in New York on Wednesday (19 Apr) UNFPA’s Branch Chief of Population and Development, Rachel Snow, said “We are here today because the world population is reordering itself. In November, the global population surpassed 8 billion, the largest population the world has seen. And this is cause for celebration. It reflects increased access to healthcare, healthier lives and higher life expectancies.”
At the same time, the expert said, “a hallmark of this 8 billion moment is how diverse the world is demographically.”
Snow noted that “two thirds of the world population now lives in a country that is below replacement fertility” and “eight countries will account for half of all population growth between now and 2050.”
The expert added, “Some countries have a median age of the late 40s, others have a median age of 17. And the ranking of the world's most populous countries is changing as we speak.”
According to Snow, “the report's main point is that we've been asking the wrong question.”
“We're asking is the world having too many people or too few people? The right question for us to ask is can everyone exercise their fundamental human right to choose the number and spacing of their children? And the answer is a resounding no. An estimated half of all pregnancies in the world are unintended,” concluded the UNFPA’s expert.
A staggering 44 per cent of partnered women and girls in 68 reporting countries do not have the right to make informed decisions about their bodies when it comes to having sex, using contraception and seeking health care; and an estimated 257 million women worldwide have an unmet need for safe, reliable contraception.
