In Brief: Why Population Reporting Matters

IN REPORTING on population, so many issues are inter-twined. The reporter has to contend with a  complex web of human-related issues such as the well-being of families, a clean environment, agitations for current needs as well as sustaining a resource base for future generations among others.

Other focus of relevance is the aspect of presenting the subject matters to policymakers, local communities as well as being saddled with the responsibilities of interpreting the economic development, equity, human health, environmental sustainability, poverty reduction and many more to the general populace. 

The matter does not end there. The Population Reporter still has to feature other associated topics such as the rates at which families have children, movement of people from one place to another; challenges of daily survival amidst inhumane government policies, cultural

norms, social anomalies and several others.
