History |
|
| Population growth in Pakistan has shown continued increase since the 1940s due to reduced mortality and persistent high birth rates. The country's population grew from nearly 33 million in 1947 to about 196.5 million to date (an increase of almost six times since the year of independence). Continued rapid growth in population has ranked Pakistan sixth in world and the third biggest contributor to world population growth. The population has the potential to grow rapidly in the near future, even though fertility is expected to fall substantially. The Population Welfare Program is a social development activity aimed at reducing population growth rate which is a necessity for developing countries like Pakistan. | |
