Pakistan to become 4th largest nation by 2050

Pakistan will become fourth largest nation on earth in terms of population by 2050, local media reported on Monday.

Pakistan will have a total population of 210.1 million in 2020, according to the Pakistan Economic Survey 2009-10.

Pakistan is the sixth largest populous country in the world, with an estimated population of 169.9 million at the end of June 2009.

The survey showed that Pakistan, also a "young" country, has approximately 104 million people below 30 years old.

The proportion of population residing in cities has risen to 36 percent which is seven times higher than that in 1950 just after its foundation in August 1947.

Total Fertility Rate (TFR) of the country began declining rapidly in the decade of 1991-2000, falling from 6.3 to 4.8, and the subsequent decade 2000-2009 has seen a slowing of the fertility transition with a fall from 4.8 to about 4.0.

The draft population policy 2009-10 foresees to reduce fertility level from 3.56 (2009) to 3.1 births per woman by the year 2015. To achieve this, Contraceptive Prevalence Rate (CPR) has to increase from 30 to 60 percent by 2030. Lately the rise in CPR was from 12 percent in 1991 to 28 percent in 1998, an average of 2 percent a year, the rise from 1998 until 2004 is from 28 percent to 33 percent.

Pakistan is also experiencing a dwindling dependency ratio. Reduced dependency ratios mean that the proportion of the population in working ages (15-64) continues to increase while those in the younger ages (0-14) decrease.

The proportion of the elderly in the total population is projected to show a substantial increase after 2025.

According to the survey, life expectancy in the country is estimated at 64.1. Taking five-year period of 2010-15 and 2025-30, it is predicted by the United Nations that life expectancy in Pakistan would increase from 68 to 71.9. The population growth rate would decrease to 1.52 percent and total fertility rate to 2. 70.

The Crude Birth Rate (CBR), Crude Death Rate (CDR) and Infant Mortality Rate (IMR) are projected under this scenario to decline to 21.4, 5.6 and 42.2 percent respectively.

Instead of uttering praise for your Punjabi masters as your likes are known for, would you care to think as to what is so great in increasing demographic pressure on a land which is not going to expand rather going to be balkanised in the next ten years?

Hhahahhahahah you mean destruction incraeses directly with pakistan population.
Pakistan will be then the top backward country by 2050 as so much population load will be unable to be tolerated. Ya quantity can be increased, and it will deacrease the quality tramendously.
pakistan should stop Mullahs for preaching increase in population.

Define panjabi masters

LOL. The ruling elite of Pakistan whom you defend by letting them put their guns on your shoulders. So you are wasting your energies on one hand and even dont know whom are you benefitting with your futile endeavours.

We praise those where praise is due, earn this and I will praise you too.
They are not our Masters, learn to read a little.

as your likes are known for

Your hatred for the Khyber.P. Afghans is hereby noted, dear.

would you care to think as to what is so great in increasing demographic pressure on a land

Population increase trends are not controlled by the Govt. . If anything the Govt. wants to scientifically address this issue and prevent itself from becoming a big dirty mess like India.

increasing demographic pressure on a land which is not going to expand

I agree, This puts a lot of pressure on any country's resources.

a land which is not going to expand rather going to be balkanised in the next ten years?

Do you see the future? lol, or is that a prophecy??
on a serious note, please elaborate on that.

The ruling elite of Pakistan whom you defend by letting them put their guns on your shoulders. So you are wasting your energies on one hand and even dont know whom are you benefitting with your futile endeavours.

Its such a shame someone like you should post something like that. For starters, that so called ruling elite among the politicians and army men heavily include Afghans (Pushtuns of Pakistan) as well.

[muhsina]

It is wishful thinking to assume that Pashtuns are among the POWER ELITE.

Do not call certified peons of GHQ like SHAMSUL FUK,SILLY-EM SAIFULLAH, BrAgadier MAHMUD SHAH [Khail], Awaste Ghani, Prickshan Khattak and ilk of their kind to be elite.They are just rear lickers of Punjabi elite class.Note my prophecy: You are one in making.

[MazloomyarMaseed]

hahaha as if Punjabis will make Pashtuns as their elite. Where are the Pashtun elite at present who allow Pak force to bomb villages and flatten peoples homes?

Just as Karzai once said, A pashtun in Pakistan always turns out to be a Gate keeper and that is how Pakistan wants it to be. I dare you to go to Punjab and do a protest about the genocide on Pashtuns and you will see what Punjabis will do to you secondly in regards to the elite comment hahaha firstly, take a good look at how Punjab and their brothers the Hazarawals treated Pashtuns in Hazara when the area was renamed.

Hazaras were protesting stating they are more patrotic towards Pakistan than Pashtuns, so that goes to show.

This is just wish ful thinking!

.........And then there was the useless hate speech....

[erlangner]

Pashtuns having the potential to be elite everywhere, as they are elite by birth,however times is cruel.
Da de wakht jabar de, ao jabar hamesha nazawallay wee.
