Seniors in conversation at Jongmyo Park, in downtown Seoul, Republic of Korea. At the end of October 2011, the world population will pass the 7 billion mark. This year’s annual report by UNFPA, the UN population fund, highlights the remarkable trends behind the numbers: roughly one in two people now lives in an urban area, the global average life span is 68 years, and close to a billion people are 60 and over. The report sees the possibilities in 7 billion – for fostering sustainable cities, productive labour forces, and generations young and old that contribute to the well-being of economies and societies.
For some time to come the poorer countries of the world will have to rely on agriculture to raise their living standards and supply the capital they need to create industries. Agricultural production must therefore be increased. This requires tractors, fertilizers, new and better seeds, vast irrigation schemes, land reforms.

Headline MINUSTAH Finances Rehabilitation of Home for Elderly in Port-au-Prince 
Caption Description The Civil Affairs Section of the UN Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) is overseeing and financing a rehabilitation project worth approximately US $100,000 that will bring electricity, water and security to a 91-year-old state-run home for the elderly, located in the Bel Air neighborhood of the capital Port-au-Prince. The women’s wing of the cash-strapped home was destroyed in the January 2010 earthquake, and the facility currently houses 29 men and 36 women officially registered residents on the main floor of its formerly men’s wing, while the second floor houses additional elderly suffering from illnesses and, in some cases, members of their families. The rehabilitation project is expected to last three months, employing 15 craftspeople per day.
Residents have their hair combed and braided by volunteers from a local church.
