Overpopulation
Recent data indicates that Pakistan's population is currently over 220 million and is encountering a worrisome growth rate of 2.4 per cent per annum. Experts predict that the country's population will increase by a further 84 per cent between 2017 and 2050. Given these statistics, it is crucial for Pakistan to prioritise population control as a national matter, incorporate population planning into national policies and create jobs for the ever increasing young population.
Till now, Pakistan has been unable to make its own comprehensive policy regarding overpopulation at a time when countries like Bangladesh, India, China and Sri Lanka have managed to get their population growth under control. We must take inspiration from the policies of these countries to curb the high population growth rate in Pakistan.
