Why is the population of Pakistan growing so fast?

Because Pakistan prefers boys to girls, this is also the basic cognition of ordinary citizens. It is generally believed that children will continue to be born unless one or more boys are born. Therefore, this practice will not stop unless relevant awareness is established among the people. According to experts, Pakistan cannot afford such a huge population. Whenever this issue is discussed at various conferences on future planning, Pakistani policy makers begin to think that providing food, water, education and sanitation facilities for a large number of people in the future is not in line with the current economic situation.

If we compare the proportion of urban and rural population, in 1955, only 19% of the population in China lived in cities, and by 2020, this proportion will rise to 35%. According to experts' prediction, by 2055, the proportion of urban and rural population in Pakistan will be equal. In view of the housing demand of the growing population, housing associations are being established to replace agricultural land. When this happens, people can't get enough food. In any city in Pakistan, traffic congestion, insufficient number of hospitals and schools, and problems related to domestic water have brought difficulties to citizens' lives. If the basic needs of the current population cannot be met today, the problems caused by overpopulation will be more serious in the future. The population density of Pakistan has reached 287. Although not as good as India, a large part of Pakistan has a tropical arid climate, and its natural conditions are not as good as India's, but it has to feed so many people.

The main ethnic groups in Pakistan are Punjab (accounting for 44.7% of the national population), Pashtun (also known as Patan) (15.4%), Sindh (14. 1%), Salacchi (8.4%) and Muhajir (mainly speaking Urdu) The remaining 6.3% are made up of some ethnic minorities. There are also a large number of Pakistani expatriates in the world, with the number exceeding 7 million. Generally speaking, Pakistan is a country with a very rapid population growth. From 195 1 to 20 17, the population of Pakistan has increased more than six times, which is mainly due to the high birth rate in Pakistan, while the death rate has dropped a lot. Pakistan has one of the youngest population structures in the world due to its high birth rate (27.5‰). The population below 15 accounts for 40.3%, and the population over 65 accounts for only 3.7%. The total population of Pakistan has reached 2295596 12, accounting for 2.83% of the world's total population. It is the fifth most populous country in the world and the second most populous country in South Asia, second only to India. Pakistan's population growth rate is as high as 2%, and the average age is only 22.8 years old.
