'''World population''' is the numerical count of the living population of [[Homo sapiens]] on or near the surface of [[Earth]]. Some people display [[foresight]] and express concerns about the [[future]] of humanity and the long-term stabilization of the population count. Other concerns include the rate of consumption of renewable and non-renewable [[resource]]s both artificial and natural.  An often-cited example is a currently-depleted resource is the status of ocean fisheries. Such demonstrated phenomena suggest that the Earth has a finite carrying capacity. Such notions may require [[benevolence]] for the benefit of far-distant future generations of humanity. Some support the notion that some form of [[population control]] measures are becoming appropriate for many or most nations.

Many notions can cause [[apathy]] to the idea that some sort of long-term (multi-generational) management is required. Such notions include:
