The current population of Pakistan is ,, as of Friday, November 12, , based on Worldometer elaboration of the latest United Nations data.
Pakistan population is estimated at ,, people at mid year according to UN data. Pakistan population is equivalent to 2. Pakistan ranks number 5 in the list of countries and dependencies by population. The population density in Pakistan is per Km 2 people per mi 2. The total land area is , Km2 , sq. Source: Worldometer www. Medium-fertility variant. Main Page: Demographics of Pakistan. This ratio shows the pressure on productive population produced by the dependent part of population. What does this value mean?
It shows that the dependent part of population is more than a half of the working part. It means that the working population labor force in Pakistan must provide goods for itself and cover expenditure on children and aged persons this population is more than a half of working population.
Child dependency ratio is a ratio of people below working age under 15 to workforce of a country. Source: The estimation data for section "Pakistan age dependency ratio" is based on the latest demographic and social statistics by United Nations Statistics Division. Life expectancy at birth is one of the most important demographic indicator.
It shows the number of years a newborn infant would live assuming that birth and death rates will remain at the same level during the whole lifetime. Total life expectancy both sexes at birth for Pakistan is 66 years. This is below the average life expectancy at birth of the global population which is about 71 years according to Population Division of the Department of Economic and Social Affairs of the United Nations.
Male life expectancy at birth is Female life expectancy at birth is According to our estimates 84,, persons or Accordingly about 59,, adults are illiterate. Literacy rate for adult male population is Literacy rate for adult female population is Youth literacy rates are There is an average of persons per square kilometer, but the density varies dramatically, ranging from scarcely populated arid areas, especially in Balochistan, to some of the highest urban densities in the world in Karachi and Lahore.
About 68 percent of the population lived in rural areas in , a decrease of 7 percent since In contrast, the number of people living in urban areas has risen substantially, resulting in an urban growth rate of 4. More than half of Pakistan's population is below the age of fifteen; nearly a third is below the age of nine. For cultural reasons, enumerating the precise number of females has been difficult--and estimates of the percentage of females in the population range from Pakistan is one of the few countries in the world with an inverse sex ratio: official sources claim there are men for every women.
The discrepancy is particularly obvious among people over fifty: men account for 7. This figure reflects the secondary status of females in Pakistani society, especially their lack of access to quality medical care. Pakistan's extremely high rate of population growth is caused by a falling death rate combined with a continuing high birth rate. In the mortality rate was twenty-seven per 1, population; by the rate had dropped to twelve estimated per 1, Yet throughout this period, the birth rate was fortyfour per 1, population.
On average, in each family had 6. Three years later, the government began to fund the association and noted the need to reduce population growth in its First Five-Year Plan The government soon combined its population planning efforts in hospitals and clinics into a single program. Thus population planning was a dual effort led by the Family Planning Association and the public sector. In the mids, the Ministry of Health initiated a program in which intrauterine devices IUDs were promoted.
Payments were offered to hospitals and clinics as incentives, and midwives were trained to treat patients. The government was able to attract funding from many international donors, but the program lost support because the targets were overly ambitious and because doctors and clinics allegedly overreported their services to claim incentive payments.
The population planning program was suspended and substantively reorganized after the fall of Mohammad Ayub Khan's government in In late December , the population was estimated at In an attempt to control the population problem, the government introduced several new programs. First, the Continuous Motivation System Programme, which employed young urban women to visit rural areas, was initiated.
In the Inundation Programme was added. Based on the premise that greater availability would increase use, shopkeepers throughout the country stocked birth control pills and condoms. Both programs failed, however. The unmarried urban women had little understanding of the lives of the rural women they were to motivate, and shopkeepers kept the contraceptives out of sight because it was considered mannerless to display them in an obvious way.
In the Population Division, formerly under the direction of a minister of state, was renamed the Population Welfare Division and transferred to the Ministry of Planning and Economic Development. This agency was charged with the delivery of both family planning services and maternal and child health care.
This reorganized structure corresponded with the new population planning strategy, which was based on a multifaceted community-based "cafeteria" approach, in cooperation with Family Welfare Centres essentially clinics and Reproductive Health Centres mostly engaged in sterilizations. Community participation had finally became a cornerstone of the government's policy, and it was hoped that contraceptive use would rise dramatically. The population by had exceeded 84 million.
In preparing the Sixth Five-Year Plan , the government projected a national population of million in the year if the growth rate were to be a constant at 2.
By the Seventh Five-Year Plan period, the multipronged approach initiated in the s had increased international donor assistance and had begun to enlist local NGOs. Efforts to improve maternal and child health were coupled with education campaigns. Because of local mores concerning modesty, the government avoided explicit reference to contraceptive devices and instead focused its public education efforts on encouraging couples to limit their family size to two children.
