The Population Institute

The Population Institute is an international non-profit organization  that educates policymakers and the public about population, and seeks to promote universal access to family planning information, education, and services.

Through voluntary family planning, we strive to achieve a world population in balance with a healthy global environment and resource base.

The company  mission is to improve the health and well-being of people and the planet by supporting policies and programs that promote sexual and reproductive health and rights. We build support for those policies and programs by educating policymakers, policy administrators, the media, and the general public about:

The essential importance of achieving gender equality and promoting sexual and reproductive health and rights;
The adverse impacts of overpopulation on the environment, scarce natural resources, biodiversity, and efforts to eliminate hunger and severe poverty in developing countries; and
The personal, social and economic benefits that arise from expanding access to family planning services and information.
