The United Nations predicts that Pakistan’s population will reach 400 million by 2092. By 2048, Pakistan is expected to surpass Indonesia in population size. This significant growth is largely due to a high birth rate and limited use of contraception.
With an average of 22 births per 1,000 people, Pakistan faces several challenges. The rapid population increase is likely to put a heavy strain on the country’s infrastructure and public services. Roads, schools, hospitals, and other essential facilities may struggle to keep up with the growing demand.
Unemployment is another major concern. As the population grows, there will be more people competing for jobs. This could lead to higher unemployment rates and increased economic difficulties for many families.
The high birth rate in Pakistan is a key factor driving this population surge. With many families having more children, the need for resources and services continues to rise. Unfortunately, the limited use of contraception means that efforts to manage this growth are less effective.
