Each population performs its activities differently and interacts with the non-living world in its own way. Some people think that population education is only the study of population related issues.

However, in reality an education cannot be limited to getting information and studying issues. Education should in a broader manner with process of bringing changes in human behavior. Therefore, population education can be defined as a process of developing awareness and understanding of population situation amongst people and making them more responsible towards managing population. Population education makes the people aware of population related issues. It also brings about changes in their behavior.
