Inscriptions
English: The problem of World over-population grows more acute year by year and by 1967 the United Nations had established the UN Fund for Population and Activites (UNFPA), the role of which is to make governments aware of the assistance to developing countries seeking to solve these problems; to help organisations involved with population questions to make UNFPA--supported project effective. For its part, UNESCO’s activities in this field are concentrated on aspects of education, communication, social and human science. The increase of population in come countries is so great that there is no place to construct but up.
Français : Le probleme de la surpopulation devient chaque année plus aigu et c’est vers 1967 que l’ONU a créé le Fonde des Nations Unies pour les activités en matière de population (UNFPA) dont le rôle est de faire prendre conscience aux gouvernements des applications économiques et sociales dues aux problèmes de populations ; d'assister d'une manière continue les pays en voie de développement cherchant à résoudre ces problèmes ; d’aider les organismes intéressés, à rendre effectifs les projets soutenus par l’UNFPA. Pour ça part, l’UNESCO concentre ces activités en ce domaine sur l'aspect éducation, l’information, les sciences sociales et humaines. L’accroissement de population est tel dans certains pays que le manque de place oblige à construire en hauteur.
