NPC: Yemen population will be 43 million in 2035

HODEIDAH, July 18 (Saba) - Indicators showed that Yemen's population
would reach 43 million in 2035, secretary general of the National
Population Council (NPC) Ali Burji has stated.

He noted that the level of population growth in Yemen still ranking
the highest in the world, warning form more poverty and more
development problems in the country.

The reason of the increased population growth level is the Yemeni
community's grasping of proliferation norms that makes the country
unable to afford growth consequences.

He considered family planning one of the greatest important means to
face population growth.
