World Population Clock: 7 Billion People World Population: Past, Present, and Future (move and expand the bar at the bottom of the chart to navigate through time) The chart above illustrates how world population has changed throughout history. At the dawn of agriculture, about 8000 B.C., the population of the world was approximately 5 million. A tremendous change occurred with the industrial revolution: whereas it had taken all of human history until around 1800 for world population to reach one billion, the second billion was achieved in only 130 years (1930), the third billion in 30 years (1960), the fourth billion in 15 years (1974), and the fifth billion in only 13 years (1987). During the 20th century alone, the population in the world has grown from 1.65 billion to 6 billion. Wonder how big was the world's population when you were born?

The United Nations estimates that trafficking in persons generates $7 to $10 billion annually for traffickers. The number of people trafficked each year is estimated by most experts to be in the millions. How Does Human Trafficking Take Place? Traffickers acquire their victims primarily from developing countries where poverty is rampant, commonly through some means of force or deception. Global Nature of the Problem Unlike some human rights abuses which are primarily regional, sex trafficking is global in nature. This exploitation is not dependent on nationality, race or religion.

Human Trafficking: How Human Trafficking Occurs – H.E.A.T.Watch Victims of modern day slavery are controlled through force, fraud or coercion at the benefit of their trafficker, who profits from their exploitation. Often, “job brokers” offer false promises of well-paying jobs in foreign countries or big cities. Victims, particularly children, can be kidnapped into slavery, and extremely poor families may sell their children to make ends meet. Vulnerable men, women and children are victims of this crime that offers traffickers high rewards and low risk. There are many causes of modern day slavery, but there is one main theme-each victim is vulnerable in some way. Extreme povertyIlliteracyWomen and childrenGlobal population explosionCorruption.
